This.

He's going to be fine as a human playing baseball.

His card prices on the other hand will not be fine if this is something that keeps him out of the lineup for weeks at a time.

Two words for ya. Kris Bryant. Remember him? What has he done in his career? ROY, MVP, World Series Champion..... Shoulder issues killed his hobby hype. Issues linger... He'd play fine and have to sit out a couple days. He even changed his swing to prevent pain in his shoulder. Wouldn't let go of the bat when he swung. I think he might be back finally. He's going to need 2 great years to get the hobby back on his side.

As a player and as a human.... Tatis will be fine. Hobby hype on the other hand.... Once it's gone... It's not easy getting it back.
