What's Happening?
Jake Cronenworth, a player for the San Diego Padres, is not included in the starting lineup for the game against the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday. This decision follows Cronenworth's performance on Monday, where he went 0-for-4, walked once, and struck out twice during the Padres' 5-4 victory in extra innings. Mason McCoy is set to replace Cronenworth at second base and will bat ninth in the lineup.
Why It's Important?
Cronenworth's absence from the lineup could impact the Padres' strategy and performance, as he is a regular starter. His recent struggles at the plate may have influenced the decision to give him a break, allowing him to regroup and potentially improve his performance in future games. This move also provides an opportunity for Mason McCoy to showcase his skills and contribute to the team's success.
