Jake Cronenworth Suffering From Rib Cramping
1 week agoSan Diego Padres infielder Jake Cronenworth (rib) was pulled early from Tuesday's 10-4 loss to the Athletics due to rib cramping that he experienced as the result of a contusion from a hit-by-pitch on Sunday in Chicago against the Cubs. Manager Mike Shildt said the team is hopeful it's nothing more and not a serious injury. However, both Cronenworth and outfielder Fernando Tatis Jr. (shoulder) will likely be out through Thursday's off day. The 31-year-old Cronenworth injured himself on a groundout in the third inning and didn't even make it out of the box before leaving the game. Fantasy managers will want to take him out of their lineups for Wednesday's series finale against the A's in Sacramento, but it's possible he'll be back by Friday's series opener at Petco Park against the division-rival Colorado Rockies. Expect veteran Jose Iglesias to get the start at second for the Pads on Wednesday.
