Jake Cronenworth News
San Diego Padres infielder Jake Cronenworth (wrist) likely won't need surgery to repair a right wrist fracture that he sustained late last week on a hit by pitch. Still, the 29-year-old will be down for a bit, and there's a chance he won't return from the injured list by the end of the season. It's been a wash of a year for Cronenworth, who's slashing .229/.312/.378 with 10 home runs, 54 runs, 48 RBI, and six steals across 127 games. Fantasy managers still rostering the two-time All-Star should drop him in all formats.
San Diego Padres infielder Jake Cronenworth (wrist) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Saturday. This news comes after Cronenworth was hit by a pitch during Friday's game. The left-handed slugger suffered a right wrist fracture during that incident. The Padres haven't given a timetable for his return, but this could be the type of injury that ends Cronenworth's season. The 29-year-old is slashing .229/.312/.378 with 10 homers and 48 RBI in 124 games. The Padres have recalled infielder Matthew Batten to take the spot on the active roster.
San Diego Padres infielder Jake Cronenworth (wrist) left Friday night's game against the Milwaukee Brewers in the top of the ninth inning after he was hit by a pitch in his right wrist area. He was replaced by Jose Azocar, who entered as a pinch-runner. Before leaving early, Cronenworth had gone 1-for-3 in the eventual 7-3 loss. This didn't look good for the 29-year-old left-handed hitter, and he was in a considerable amount of pain before walking off the field. Cronenworth is highly unlikely to be in Saturday's lineup, and fantasy managers may want to prepare for an extended absence, depending on what tests show on his wrist. If Cronenworth is forced to the injured list because of this injury, Garrett Cooper would see more starts at first base in San Diego. Cronenworth entered Friday's game with a disappointing .229 average with just 10 homers and six steals in 2023.

San Diego Padres infielder Jake Cronenworth was a relevant fantasy asset in 2022. However, almost all of his value came from his run his production. Cronenworth scored and drove in 88 runs but hit just .239 with 17 home runs and three stolen bases. His 27-point drop in batting average was partially due to a strikeout rate that reached 19.2% after posting a 14.4% rate in his first two seasons. Cronenworth's hitting ability has seemingly regressed each season since his rookie campaign. The 28-year-old owned an 89.8 MPH average exit velocity and 10.5% barrel rate in 2020, which dropped to 88.6 MPH and 7.2%, respectively, in 2021. Both numbers were even worse this season; 87.6 MPH average exit velocity and 5.6% barrel percentage. Cronenworth has to rely on tons of line drives to make a living in batting average. But after posting a 27.3% and 26.1% line drive rate in 2020 and 2021, respectively, the two-time All-Star only managed a 21.1% mark this year. Cronenworth's deteriorating metrics are worrisome, and he has no speed to resort to if he doesn't bounce back, as he's swiped just 10 bags in 364 career games. Fantasy managers might want to bank on solid counting stats again. His ability to walk (9.4% career walk rate) means he'll have enough chances to score, but his 143 RBI plus runs that Steamer projects can't make up for his faults. Cronenworth's ADP of 191 is too high for what he brings to the table.
