Thanks for that reminder. I thought there was a subluxation issue from back then, but couldn’t remember who.
Position player maybe a better comp, a shortstop in particular. Adalberto Mondesi had two shoulder subluxations in 2019.

"Mondesi originally sustained a left shoulder subluxation in July while diving to catch a foul popup. After rehabbing for six weeks, Mondesi returned to the lineup earlier this month. He then re-injured the shoulder while diving for a ground ball in the hole against the Twins on Sunday at Target Field.
Kenney indicated the re-injury on Sunday was identical to the original injury -- a labral tear.
A labral tear occurs when the cartilage that holds the shoulder socket in place is torn."
That article from September 26 2019.
Mondesi first MLB game was 25th July 2020. Didnt start hitting well until September 2020.
Out start of this season (after playing well in Spring) with oblique strain.
This would be close to worst case scenario for Tatis as an ongoing and lingering issues. Well, worst case for Padres at least.
I can't see any mention of a labral tear for Tatis but from initial reading seems that a labral tear is very common with subluxation. Any expert want to chime in?

"Fernando Tatis Jr. has some slight labral tearing, which is consistent with a subluxation injury, A.J. Preller said. "Overall, the exam today was pretty uneventful." Tatis will go on the IL. Preller said the Padres will go the rest-and-rehab route and aim for a return in 10 days. " - Padres reporter for The Athletic.
