San Diego Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. has a back strain and is "most likely" done for the season, according to manager Andy Green.
Tatis, a Rookie of the Year candidate who is batting a team-leading .317 with 22 home runs, 53 RBIs and a .969 OPS, left Tuesday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays with back spasms and did not play Wednesday.
He was placed by the Padres on the 10-day injured list. He is eligible to come off the IL on Aug. 24.
Infielder Ty France was called up from Triple-A El Paso on Friday and is playing second base against the Philadelphia Phillies, batting seventh.
Tatis missed 34 games earlier in the season with a hamstring injury.
