Finally, Jake Cronenworth is back
It’s probably indicative of how badly the San Diego Padres missed infielder Jake Cronenworth that after being on the seven-day concussion list since May 5, Cronenworth got three rehab games before the team activated him before their first contest against the Cubs in Chicago. When he was placed on the injured list, Cronenworth had already […]

Good Morning San Diego: Randy Vasquez implodes; Padres get drubbed by Dodgers
San Diego Padres Manager Craig Stammen employed an opener in Kyle Hart before bringing in his “starter” Randy Vasquez for bulk innings. The strategy seemed to work – until it didn’t.

Coming into the season the San Diego Padres had a catching tandem of Freddy Fermin and Luis Campusano.
