Jake Cronenworth has been activated from the injured list and played a vital role in the Padres' victory over the Rockies. After missing almost a month due to a rib fracture, he performed well with a hit and two walks. While his injury isn't fully healed, he feels capable of playing safely due to protective gear. Meanwhile, teammate Dylan Cease, who had a minor forearm cramp, is expected to return for his next start, although he has struggled with a high ERA this season.
"The Padres activated Jake Cronenworth from the 10-day injured list yesterday, and the infielder went 1-for-3 with two walks and two runs scored in Friday's 13-9 win over the Rockies."
"Despite the precaution, Cronenworth said he is feeling good, and might have been able to return from the IL earlier but the team wanted to wait until the bone had healed to the point that a re-aggravation is less likely."
"Cease has yet to get fully on track this season, as the righty has posted a 4.91 ERA over eight starts and 40 1/3 innings."
