Cronenworth left Monday's game against the Brewers after experiencing tightness in his calf, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cronenworth reportedly felt the issue while trying to reach base on a groundout during the eighth inning, but skipper Mike Shildt said after the game that it's too early to know if the injury will force Cronenworth to miss additional time. The 30-year-old will be considered day-to-day until the medical staff has more information to share.

Cronenworth went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run and two walks in Monday's 9-8 win versus the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
The Padres went down 8-0 before Cronenworth began a spirited comeback with a two-run homer in the sixth inning. The long ball was the first of the year for the first baseman, but he's produced offense in other ways, as he currently leads the team with 11 total RBI. Cronenworth has reached base safely in 10 of 13 contests and is slashing .313/.382/.500 through 56 plate appearances.

Cronenworth went 1-for-4 with a two-RBI double during Thursday's 6-4 win over the Giants.
EDGE Analysis

Cronenworth went 4-for-4 with a triple, a double, two runs and four RBI in Thursday's 15-11 win against the Dodgers in the second game of the Seoul Series.
EDGE Analysis
Cronenworth had a rough season-opener Wednesday, going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts and committing a key error when a batted ball broke through the webbing of his glove. He bounced back with a big performance one day later, reaching in all five plate appearances (in addition to the four knocks, he was also hit by a pitch) and driving in four runs. Cronenworth's four hits tied his career-high mark, which he initially set July 16, 2021 against Washington.

Cronenworth (wrist) will start at first base and bat third in Thursday's Cactus League game against the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Cronenworth didn't play after Aug. 25 last season due to a fractured right wrist, but he avoided surgery to address the injury and appears to have experienced no limitations thus far in spring training. With Xander Bogaerts making the move to second base in 2024 and Ha-Seong Kim entrenched as an everyday starter at shortstop, Cronenworth should see an even higher volume of starts at first base during the upcoming season than he did in 2023, when he made 94 starts at the position. Cronenworth is still expected to carry middle-infield eligibility in most leagues this season after he made 30 starts at the keystone in 2023.

Cronenworth is not expected to need surgery to repair his fractured right wrist, MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Undergoing surgery would no doubt end his season, although it would still seem to be a long shot that he makes it back given that he'll be in a cast for several weeks. With the Padres' playoff hopes growing slimmer by the day, it makes little sense for Cronenworth to rush back.

The Padres placed Cronenworth on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a right wrist fracture.
EDGE Analysis
Cronenworth took a 92-mph fastball to the wrist during the ninth inning of Friday's game against Milwaukee. The Padres didn't specify a timeline for the 29-year-old, but there is a chance Cronenworth misses the rest of the season. Matthew Batten was recalled from Triple-A El Paso in a corresponding move.

Cronenworth was lifted from Friday's game in Milwaukee after being hit on the right wrist by a pitch, 97.3 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
A 92 mph Andrew Chafin fastball caught Cronenworth in a bad spot and he was quickly removed from the game. The infielder is no doubt headed for X-rays, with an update on his condition possibly available later Friday. Cronenworth was 1-for-3 with a single in addition to the hit by pitch before exiting.
