Fernando Tatis, Jr. had to postpone a scheduled left shoulder surgery because he has strep throat.

The San Diego Padres shortstop was slated to have the labrum in his left shoulder repaired on Tuesday, but that procedure now will be delayed a week or so while he recovers from the illness.

The delay is not expected to affect Tatis' return next season after he's done serving an 80-game suspension for testing positive for a performance-enhancing drug.
