Padres' Jake Cronenworth: Notches homer Monday
Rotowire
Cronenworth went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk against the Nationals in a loss Monday.
Cronenworth cut Washington's deficit to three runs with a solo blast in the seventh inning, but the Nationals essentially put the game away with three runs in the following frame. The homer was just the sixth of the campaign for the infielder, so he has a ways to go to match the 17 the accumulated in the regular season last year. Cronenworth is at a modest .760 OPS on the campaign, but one area where he's shown improvement is in drawing free passes -- his 13.9 percent walk rate ranks in the 92nd percentile leaguewide and is on pace for a career-best mark.

Padres' Jake Cronenworth: Swats fifth homer
Rotowire
Cronenworth went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 8-2 win over the Diamondbacks.
Cronenworth is enjoying a steady but unremarkable June -- he's hit safely in five straight games and in 10 of 14 contests for the month. However, his fourth-inning homer Sunday was his first extra-base hit since a May 28 double versus the Marlins, and he also picked up his first RBI since June 3 against the Giants. The infielder is now at a .241/.367/.400 slash line with five homers, 17 RBI, 21 runs scored and one stolen base across 46 games this season. Hitting consistently is half the battle, but Cronenworth's fantasy stock will remain fairly low if he can't get more involved in run production.

Padres' Jake Cronenworth: Reaches three times in return
Rotowire
Cronenworth went 1-for-3 with two walks, two runs and an RBI against Colorado in a 13-9 victory Friday.
Cronenworth was activated from the injured list Friday and immediately returned to the lineup at second base. He made an impact in his first game back, getting on base three times, with his lone hit -- a single -- plating a run in the the eighth inning. Per Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union Tribune, the fractured rib that landed Cronenworth on the IL hasn't yet completely healed, and he's wearing an undershirt with padding to protect the area, but he should be able to play on a near-everyday basis moving forward.
