C.J. Cron Remains Out Of Sunday’s Lineup
10 months agoColorado Rockies first baseman C.J. Cron (back) is absent from Sunday's lineup against the Miami Marlins. The 33-year-old was scratched late from Saturday's lineup card with back stiffness, so Cron gets another day of respite in this one. The slugger missed over a month of action with back spasms before finally returning on June 27, so Colorado might want to play things cautiously here. Cron, holder of an expiring contract, was boosting his potential trade value while batting .333 with a .998 OPS, five home runs, and 11 RBI in 57 at-bats over his previous 16 games. The switch-hitting Michael Toglia mans first base and hits seventh for Sunday's series finale.
