Not starting Sunday Hosmer is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Impact The 30-year-old returned from the injured list Saturday and went 0-for-4 in his first game since July 28. There's been no indication Hosmer is still battling the gastrointestinal issues that put him on the shelf, so the team is likely just easing him back into the everyday role. Ty France will receive the start at first base Sunday for the Friars.

Quiet in return Hosmer (illness) went 0-for-4 in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Plays catch Tuesday Hosmer (illness) played catch on the field Tuesday, Annie Heilbrunn of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Impact Hosmer's activity was certainly a good sign, as he's been out of action for a week due to gastritis. He'll be eligible to return from the injured list Saturday, and the Padres are optimistic that he'll be able to return that day, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Filling in for Hosmer again Cronenworth will start at first base and bat ninth Sunday against the Rockies.

Impact Making his third start in five games at first base, the lefty-hitting Cronenworth looks poised to occupy the strong side of a platoon with Ty France at the position while Eric Hosmer (illness) is on the injured list. Cronenworth has batted in the bottom third of the order in all of his starts thus far, and his low placement in the lineup and lack of a full-time role could limit his utility to NL-only leagues.

AUGUST 2, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Bows out of lineup France is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

Impact With Eric Hosmer (illness) moving to the injured list ahead of Saturday's 6-1 loss to the Rockies, France drew his second start of the season at first base, going 0-for-2 to snap a four-game hitting streak to begin the campaign. The lefty-hitting Jake Cronenworth will pick up his third start in five games at first base in the series finale, so it looks like the right-handed-hitting France could have to settle for short-side platoon work at the position while Hosmer is sidelined.
