And baseball fans started focusing on the part about how he should have been focusing on his health to make a heroic comeback rather than dancing at a concert. 

While some people questioned his ability to dance, others think this is what he has been doing to keep himself busy ahead of making his MLB comeback. Some even did not forget to make fun of the motorcycle incident he had during the 2021-22 MLB lockout.

When is Tatis Jr supposed to make a comeback?

According to the reports, it is said that the shortstop can join his team in spring training. But he should not be anywhere near the team when the regular season begins. It is because before making his comeback, he will have to miss the first twenty games of the season. Also, with the Padres’ recent acquisition of shortstop Xander Bogaerts, it is still unclear what position Tatis Jr. would be playing once he finally makes his comeback.
