San Diego Padres first baseman Jake Cronenworth will move back into the two-hole when he takes on the Kansas City Royals and right-hander Brad Keller Monday night.

Mike Trout Returning On Monday
Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (elbow) is back in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Baltimore Orioles.
