San Diego Padres star second baseman Jake Cronenworth was activated from the 10-day injured list before Friday night’s road game against the Colorado Rockies.<\/p>\n\n
Cronenworth was out of action for more than four weeks due to a rib fracture.<\/p>\n\n
The player was hit by a pitch on April 6 during a game against the Chicago Cubs and attempted to play despite the injury. Two days later, he left a game against the Athletics due to increased pain in his ribs.<\/p>\n\nSan Diego opened a roster spot by optioning outfielder Oscar Gonzalez to Triple-A El Paso on Thursday.\n\n
Cronenworth, 31, batted .257 with an on-base percentage of .409 in nine games this season before going on the injured list. He has two home runs and five RBIs.<\/p>\n\n
The two-time All-Star is in his sixth season with the Padres. He is batting .247 with 71 home runs and 315 RBIs in 658 career games.<\/p>\n\n
Despite the long absences of Cronenworth and All-Star center fielder Jackson Merrill, the Padres have a 23-13 record that places them fourth in the majors. Merrill returned to the lineup on Tuesday after missing 24 games with a right hamstring injury.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
