Jake Cronenworth to IL, Sung-Mun Song called up
Song makes his stateside MLB debut
Before the second game of the series against the San Francisco Giants, the Padres made a series of roster changes. Second baseman Jake Cronenworth went to the seven-day injured list with concussion symptoms and infielder Sung-Mun Song was recalled from Triple-A El Paso. Cronenworth was hit on the jaw by a pitch in the series against the Angels on April 18, but has not sustained any other head blows, so it is unclear when this injury occurred.
Song has been in El Paso since the start of the season after sustaining an oblique injury at his home in Korea before Spring Training began. He aggravated the injury during the spring and was optioned to El Paso when his rehab window expired. Song has hit well in El Paso with a .
293/. 364/. 354 line but has struggled to slug and has a zero-barrel rate in his at-bats.
He just hit his first home run on Sunday with an exit velocity of 94. 6 mph. He has three doubles and 15 RBI as well.
