C.J. Cron Still Absent On Monday
1 year agoLos Angeles Angels first baseman C.J. Cron (back) remains out of action on Monday with the team taking on the division-rival Texas Rangers. Mike Moustakas will get the start at first base and will hit cleanup for the Halos against Rangers right-hander Max Scherzer. Monday will be the second straight game that Cron will start on the bench while dealing with a sore back. The 33-year-old right-handed slugger should be considered day-to-day to start the week. He was able to pinch hit on Sunday, so he could be back in the starting lineup as early as Tuesday. Cron lost a little fantasy luster with the move from Coors Field to Angel Stadium, but he can still provide some modest pop (12 home runs) in fantasy leagues. In his first 13 contests back with the Angels, he's gone 8-for-42 (.190) with a homer and five RBI.
