3 years agoSan Diego Padres second baseman Jake Cronenworth, who is batting third in Sunday's game in Philadelphia against right-hander Vince Velasquez, has gone hitless in his last three contests, cooling off after mashing his way to National League Player of the Week honors. Cronenworth is paying off big this season for his fantasy managers, showing that his strong 2020 rookie campaign was legitimate. He makes a solid play against Velasquez, given his .831 OPS against righties in 2021. As part of a potent lineup, Cronenworth is emerging as one the steadiest and most underrated players at his position. Webster Rivas, who is hitting .206 this year and can be ignored for fantasy purposes, is catching and batting eighth for San Diego.--Josh Friedman
