Adidas has ended its relationship with San Diego Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. in the wake of him testing positive for a performance-enhancing substance.

In a statement sent in response to an inquiry from ESPN on Friday, an Adidas spokesperson wrote: "We believe that sport should be fair. We have a clear policy on doping and can confirm that our partnership with Fernando Tatis Jr. will not continue."

Fernando Tatis Jr. sat atop the dugout bench on the first-base side at Petco Park on Tuesday afternoon and spoke unprompted for 250 seconds. He was measured yet unscripted, composed yet noticeably despondent. He lamented all the people he "failed" by testing positive for a performance-enhancing substance, and he vowed to make amends.

"I have seen how my dreams have turned into my worst nightmares," Tatis said while flanked by Padres president of baseball operations A.J. Preller and surrounded by dozens of media members.

Fernando Tatis Jr. has yet to formally address his Padres teammates in the wake of his suspension, but Jurickson Profar, one of his closest friends on the team, said he has been speaking with Tatis "every day."

"He's devastated," Profar said Thursday when asked about Tatis' state of mind. "He feels really bad."

Six days earlier MLB announced that Tatis had tested positive for the anabolic steroid Clostebol and thus suspended him for 80 games, ending a season that never began.

Tatis, 23, was in the final stages of his recovery from a wrist injury that he likely sustained during an offseason motorcycle accident. Now he's in the process of repairing relationships. That task began on Thursday, with a face-to-face meeting with Padres president of baseball operations A.J. Preller, a source with knowledge of the situation said. Over the weekend, Tatis is scheduled to meet with Padres chairman Peter Seidler, who signed off on his historic 14-year, $340 million extension in February of 2021.

Tatis is also expected to address his teammates before the end of the week, the source added, but Padres manager Bob Melvin said Thursday that possibility is "still kind of up for debate, if and when that's going to happen."

Pittsburgh Pirates infielder Rodolfo Castro was suspended one game and fined an undisclosed amount Tuesday for having a cellphone in his back pocket during an Aug. 9 game against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

The Office of the Commissioner of Baseball announced today that San Diego Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. has received an 80-game suspension without pay after testing positive for Clostebol, a performance-enhancing substance in violation of Major League Baseball’s Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program.

The suspension of Tatis is effective immediately.

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson reached a settlement with the league this weekend, reducing a three-game suspension to two games after making contact with an umpire late last month.

Anderson, 29, will sit out Sunday's contest against the Texas Rangers and then Tuesday's first game of a doubleheader against the Kansas City Royals. The White Sox have the day off Monday.
