INJURIES

Goes on IL with back spasms Cron was placed on the 10-day injured list by the Rockies on Monday with back spasms, Danielle Allentuck of The Denver Gazette reports.
Impact Cron had to depart Sunday's game versus the Phillies with the injury and it will cost him at least a week-and-half of action. Mike Moustakas is starting at first base Monday and Michael Toglia should also see time there after being recalled.

Likely headed to injured list Rockies manager Bud Black told reporters after Friday's game that Cron (back) is likely heading to the injured list, Kyle Newman of The Denver Post reports.
Impact Cron left Sunday's game against the Phillies with back spasms, and it sounds like the infielder will need at least a week-plus to recover. In 35 games thus far, Cron has hit .231/.281/.433 with six homers and 19 RBI with no stolen bases. Mike Moustakas could see reps at first with Cron out of the lineup as well as Harold Castro. The Rockies likely won't make the move official for Cron until before Monday's game against Cincinnati.

Exits with back spasms Cron was removed from Sunday's game against the Phillies due to back spasms, Kyle Newman of The Denver Post reports.
Impact Cron went 0-for-2 with an RBI prior to leaving Sunday's contest in the fourth inning. The severity of the issue remains unclear, and the 33-year-old should be considered day-to-day heading into Monday's series opener versus the Reds.

Tallies 19th RBI Cron went 1-for-4 with a double, two runs scored and an RBI on Saturday against the Phillies.

Despite the strong stretch, Cron has maintained an underwhelming .231/.281/.433 line -- good for a 76 wRC+ -- across 146 plate appearances on the campaign.

MLB Mailbag: What's going on with the Cardinals? Who might be on the trading block?
Breather Monday Cron will sit Monday versus the Pirates, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

The 33-year-old has gone 4-for-20 with two doubles, two runs scored and six walks while striking out four times over six games in the month of May.

Launches three-run homer Cron went 3-for-5 with a three-run home run and a double to go along with an additional RBI and run scored in Sunday's victory over the Diamondbacks.
Impact Cron had Ryne Nelson's number Sunday, tagging him for a double in the second inning before swatting a three-run homer in the third that plated Charlie Blackmon and Jurickson Profar. Cron's breakout performance was much needed considering the 33-year-old was 2-for-20 (.100) in his last five games. Though Cron is striking out at a 27.6 percent clip overall and holds just a .188 average against right-handed pitching this season, Cron has been significantly better versus lefties with a .300/.323/.467 slash line.

Impact Cron gave the Rockies all the offense they ended up needing with his two-run shot to left field in the first inning. The homer was just his second across his past 15 games after he began the campaign with three long balls over his first three contests.
