The San Diego Padres placed star outfielder Fernando Tatis Jr. on the 10-day injured list on Monday due to a right femoral stress reaction.

Padres manager Mike Shildt said Tatis could have continued to play through his quad discomfort, but the injury wasn't going to heal without rest.

Tatis has not played since Friday, when he was hit by a pitch near his left elbow during a game against the Milwaukee Brewers. He was removed two innings later.

"The last two days, he was available to take an at-bat, like he's been available for the last several months," Shildt said. "He could actually still continue to play. The reality, though, is he was starting to get to a point where he was going at a high-percentage clip and starting to see a little bit of more compromised of ... how he's able to perform."

Shildt would not commit to a timeline for Tatis' return.

In 80 games this season, the former All-Star has batted .279 with a team-high 14 home runs and 36 RBIs. He is a career .280 hitter with 120 homers and 309 RBIs in 494 games for the Padres, with a Gold Glove and two Silver Slugger awards to his name since entering the majors in 2019.

Shildt also announced that Yu Darvish will miss his scheduled start on Tuesday due to elbow inflammation.

Darvish most recently made a rehab start at High-A Fort Wayne on Wednesday as he attempts to return from an IL stint due to a groin strain.

In corresponding roster moves made Monday, San Diego recalled rookie Adam Mazur from Triple-A El Paso to start Tuesday's game against the Washington Nationals, and it recalled infielder Eguy Rosario and selected outfielder Bryce Johnson from Triple-A.

San Diego also optioned right-hander Jhony Brito and outfielder Jose Azocar to Triple-A. Shildt said the Padres are sending Brito to El Paso to stretch him out to become a starter.
