The Rockies have placed first baseman C.J. Cron on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to May 7) with a lower back strain, per a team announcement.
This ailment has been an issue for the past several days for Cron, who last played May 5. It has temporarily derailed what has been an impressive start to the season by Cron, a minor league pickup over the winter. The 31-year-old has been the Rockies’ most productive hitter with a .290/.394/.495 line and five home runs across 109 plate appearances.
With Cron down of late, Colorado has utilized Matt Adams and Connor Joe at first base. They only have 27 plate appearances between them this year.
hate to see, LOVE me some cron! get better
Californiaangles – SD has plenty of Cron for you. That Cronenworth guy is gaining a following so jump on the wagon.
hope Joe can seize this opportunity. rooting for him.
Cron’s Devils !
I’m shocked this guy has to settle for minor league deals. Cron has been a productive hitter for a long time.
Get Pujols
Matt Adams! Oh, man.
Pujols to Colorado!?
Totally forgot Matt Adams was still playing.
Matt had some good years but has dropped off fast and hard. If something doesn’t change he won’t be much longer.
If MLB had NBA 2-week contracts… Pujols would be a real option.
Go Connor Joe! San Diego guy!
Does anyone know whynDrew Goodman is MIA on Rockies games?
