Padres' Jake Cronenworth Identified as Short-Term Fantasy Waiver Wire Target

San Diego Padres infielder Jake Cronenworth is highlighted as a valuable short-term waiver wire pickup, primarily due to his upcoming schedule which includes seven games against the Rockies. Despite not being a strong contributor in stolen bases, batting average, or power (10 homers, 47 RBI in 108 games), his anticipated consistent starts against mediocre pitching opponents make him a viable temporary addition. Fantasy managers are advised to consider him for the next 2-3 weeks, with a potential drop around September 16.
