Overview
- The Padres placed second baseman Jake Cronenworth on the seven-day injured list Tuesday with concussion symptoms, recalled infielder Sung-Mun Song from Triple-A El Paso, reinstated lefty Yuki Matsui, and optioned lefty Kyle Hart.
- Song started at second base against the Giants and went 2-for-4 with two RBIs, two runs and a steal in a 10-5 win at Oracle Park in his first MLB start.
- The team has not explained how or when Cronenworth’s symptoms began, and no timeline for his return has been announced.
- Signed in December to a four-year, $15 million deal from Korea’s KBO, Song hit .293/.364/.354 in 25 Triple-A games and played second base, shortstop and third base.
- Cronenworth had opened 2026 in a slump at .144 with a .468 OPS, and Song’s promotion gives San Diego another infield option as it tries to jump-start the offense.
