Eric Hosmer - Sitting SaturdayHosmer is not in Saturday's lineup against the Cardinals.

ImpactHosmer has started each of the last seven games, during which time he's hit .250/.276/.357. While it's not out of the ordinary for Hosmer to draw a day off, Jake Cronenworth returned to the lineup after a week-long absence and is starting at first base. If the Padres continue to play Cronenworth at first base and keep Fernando Tatis at shortstop -- he is starting there Saturday -- Hosmer's playing time could dip significantly to close the season.

Jake Cronenworth - Returns at first baseCronenworth (finger) is starting at first base and hitting second Saturday against the Cardinals.

ImpactCronenworth was held out of the starting lineup for the last week, though he did make an appearance as a pinch hitter Friday. Now back in the lineup, Cronenworth may find a regular home at first base, as it appears that the Padres are contemplating keeping Fernando Tatis at shortstop. In turn, Eric Hosmer is out of the lineup Saturday and could lose playing time to close the season.
