Overview

  • The Padres placed second baseman Jake Cronenworth on the seven-day injured list for concussion symptoms, according to the team.
  • San Diego recalled infielder Sung-Mun Song from Triple-A El Paso to fill the roster spot, with the KBO signee expected to handle second base and provide infield depth.
  • The club also reinstated left-hander Yuki Matsui from the 15-day IL and optioned left-hander Kyle Hart to Triple-A El Paso.
  • Cronenworth had struggled at the plate this season with a .144 average and a .468 OPS, increasing urgency to adjust the infield mix.
  • Song has minimal MLB time after a pinch-running debut in Mexico City and, following an oblique setback in spring, has hit .293 with a .718 OPS in 25 Triple-A games, including an eight-game hitting streak and his first homer on Sunday.
