“Tatis played 2B two games because he can.”
CORROBORATED
The claim that Fernando Tatis Jr. played second base in two games is corroborated by two independent sources: (1) an MLB insider's comment in Padres news confirming he played two games at second base, and (2) an analysis article noting his infrequent but confirmed play at second base during his transition. Wikipedia only lists his primary positions but does not specify the two-game detail.
