What happened: Fernando Tatis Jr. was hit on the left hand by a two-strike, 95-mph fastball from Dodgers right-hander Emmet Sheehan. Tatis stayed down for a while before shaking it off and taking his base. It marked another instance of the star wearing a pitch on that hand against Los Angeles.

Why it matters: Hand injuries are a lingering concern for Fernando Tatis Jr., who has been swinging a hot bat and is central to his lineup's production. Any swelling or soreness in the wrist or hand area carries outsized weight for a hitter of his caliber. Staying in the game is an early positive sign, but the spot will be monitored.

What to watch: Watch for whether Tatis remains in the lineup the rest of the game and a postgame update on the hand. Any imaging or day-to-day designation would be the key follow-up.
