Overview
- The Padres placed second baseman Jake Cronenworth on the 7‑day concussion injured list Tuesday after symptoms linked to an April 18 hit‑by‑pitch worsened, and he later said he wished he had reported them sooner.
- San Diego recalled infielder Sung‑Mun Song from Triple‑A El Paso, and he started at second base Tuesday with a 2‑for‑4 night that included a two‑run double, two RBIs, two runs and a steal in a 10‑5 win over the Giants.
- The Padres took Wednesday’s finale 5‑1 at Oracle Park, with Ty France delivering a two‑out, pinch‑hit two‑run triple in the seventh and Xander Bogaerts adding a late two‑run homer as Matt Waldron logged five strong innings in relief.
- In corresponding moves, the club reinstated left‑hander Yuki Matsui from the 15‑day IL and optioned left‑hander Kyle Hart to Triple‑A to keep bullpen depth intact.
- Song joined San Diego on a four‑year, $15 million deal after starring in Korea and, following an oblique injury and a .293/.364/.354 start in Triple‑A, is expected to get regular chances at second and around the infield while Cronenworth recovers.
