Activated Padres Jake Cronenworth From the list of wounded 10 days yesterday, and the interior player went 1 for 3 with two goals on balls and two points scored in the 13-9 Friday victory on the Rockies. Cronenworth ended up missing almost exactly a month of action due to a fracture not moved to his straight ribs which he suffered after being struck by land.
Since the bone is not completely healed, Cronenworth told journalists (including Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune) that he will wear a padded jersey for the moment, and he will add another filling layer when he is on the plate. Despite the precaution, Cronenworth said that he felt good and that he could have returned from the he earlier, but that the team wanted to wait for the bone to healed to the point that a re-aggravation is less likely.
The injury achieved a hot start for Cronenworth, which has an oblique bar line .263 / .429 / .474 on its first 49 plates of the 2025 season. A certain regression is inevitable, but the paadres certainly hope that it will be able to continue to provide at least a certain level of production above the average, after Cronenworth has struck a subtransparet .236 / .318 / .385 in 1178 PA in 2023-24.
As the range of San Diego becomes healthier, Dylan stops It also seems to have avoided all kinds of injury after leaving your last start with a forearm cramp. Although any kind of forearm problem is worrying, stopped crossed a 90-foot capture set on Friday (part of its usual inter-start routine) without problem, it therefore seems that the right-hander should make its next outing. Since the Padres did not play last Thursday, ceases can even have an additional day of rest to make sure that he is ready for his next departure scheduled, Wednesday against the Angels.
Cease has not yet been entirely on the right track this season, because the right -hander posted an MPM of 4.91 on eight departures and 40 1/3 sleeves. There is not much change marked in the peripherals by 2024, so his swollen era could simply be a case of bad chance of ball (a .333 babip). The out -of -competition number could be that the Cease signature cursor was “only” a fairly good pitch in 2025, as opposed to what it was undoubtedly the most devastating land of the majors of the 2022 and 2024 seasons.
Returning to the upper form is particularly important to stop this season, because it may be the best launcher available in a free agency this coming winter if he delivers a solid campaign. From these two to stop and his starter colleague Michael King Are planned to become free agents, the two launchers were highly mentioned in commercial rumors throughout the offseason and even deeply in training in the spring. It turned out that San Diego ended up keeping the two starters, and Jon Heyman of the New York Post writes that “the Padres would like to keep one of the long -term duo.
Keeping only one (at most) of the starters always seemed to be the most logical result for the paadres, given the way in which the ceasefire and the king are on the rhythm of ordering large wages and San Diego already has a lot of long -term contracts in books. The logic behind commercial speculation was that the paadres could seek to make a certain salary and meet other needs by exchanging the two launchers they felt less confident at the signing, but the brothers rather pivoted by keeping not only ceased and the king, but most of the other players at high prices that are on the commercial market.
Robert Suarez was one of those players who would have received commercial interest, but “no team has made a serious game” for his services, writes Heyman. The launch of Suarez flames accumulated 36 stops last season while posting a 2.77 MPM and a higher walking rate in 65 rounds. However, some of his other metrics were more intermediate and the age of Suarez (he was 34 years old in March) and his contract status was perhaps obstacles to an agreement.
Suarez owes the rest of a salary of $ 10 million this season and is due to $ 8 million during the 2026 and 2027 seasons. However, these last two seasons are in fact players’ options, and at the end of the season, Suarez can either trigger the two options simultaneously, or to disintegrate entirely to return to free will. Given this uncertain contract status, the teams may not have wanted to give up too much for a year of control if Suarez has withdrawn, or if other teams could have been wary of being on the hook for $ 26 million to a 34-year-old lift.
The lack of attractive offers may have made the decision to keep Suarez quite easy for the paadres, but in any event, the club is surely happy that the closest is always on the list. Suarez has a superb MPM of 0.51 in 17 2/3 rounds, with a record of 15 years and a 29.5% withdrawal rate considerably improved. A babip .154 surely contributes to the success of Suarez, but even if Siera de Suarez is a better reflection of his real performance, it is even more than solid.
