Jake Cronenworth News
San Diego Padres first baseman Jake Cronenworth (calf) has returned to the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. The 30-year-old has missed each of the last two games due to a minor right-calf issue. However, Cronenworth will be back in there at first base and batting third against right-hander Yariel Rodriguez on Friday. Fantasy managers should make sure to get Cronenworth back in their lineups.
San Diego Padres first baseman Jake Cronenworth (calf) is not in the lineup on Tuesday against the Milwaukee Brewers after being pulled from Monday's 7-3 win with calf tightness late in the game. The San Diego Union-Tribune's Kevin Acee points out that the Padres recalled infielder Matthew Batten from Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday, which presumably means that Cronenworth will miss some time with his injury. However, he hasn't officially been placed on the injured list, so it could just be a day-to-day situation for now. Jurickson Profar is handling first base and batting third on Tuesday, while Jose Azocar is in left field and batting ninth against Brewers left-hander Wade Miley. Profar is hitting .417 with an RBI in 12 career at-bats against Miley, while Azocar has gone hitless versus the soft-tossing lefty in four career ABs.
San Diego Padres first baseman Jake Cronenworth (calf) felt tightness in his calf while trying to beat out a ground ball in the eighth inning in Monday's 7-3 win over the Milwaukee Brewers. He played first base in the bottom of the eighth frame before being replaced at first base by Brett Sullivan in the ninth inning. "Too early to tell," manager Mike Shildt said about Cronenworth's injury. He went 0-for-3 with a walk and two runs scored in the game before departing early. The 30-year-old left-handed hitter should be considered day-to-day for now, while fantasy managers should check back on Tuesday to see if there's an update on his condition and whether he'll be in the starting lineup. Cronenworth entered the week hitting .265 (18-for-68) with three homers and 14 RBI on the year in 18 games played.

San Diego Padres infielder Jake Cronenworth made back-to-back All-Star teams in 2021 and 2022 by hitting a combined .252/.336/.425 with a .761 OPS, 38 home runs, 63 doubles, 11 triples, 159 RBI, seven stolen bases and 182 runs scored in 310 games. It led to a seven-year, $80 million contract extension last spring, but the 30-year-old lefty slugger saw a drastic dip in production in 127 games in 2023, slashing .229/.312/.378 with a .689 OPS, 10 homers, 48 RBI, six stolen bases and 54 runs scored in 522 plate appearances. His season fittingly ended early due to a fractured left wrist, but he didn't require surgery and is expected to be ready for Opening Day in 2024. Cronenworth played in over 100 games at first base and has made the full-time move to the position, making him even less attractive in fantasy. The former seventh-rounder is no sure bet to bounce back to his 2021-22 levels and is projected by ATC to hit .246/.327/.404 with 15 home runs, 67 RBI, five stolen bases and 71 runs scored in 591 plate appearances in 2024.
