EDGE Analysis

Cron returned to the lineup after a 12-day absence caused by a back injury. He picked up where he left off prior to his trip to the injured list, notching his fourth multi-hit game over his past seven contests. After a slow start to the campaign, Cron has pushed his slash line up to a standout .309/.407/.515 on the season. He has five home runs and 15 RBI along with 18 runs scored.

Cron (back) was activated off the 10-day injured list as expected Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Cron's lower-back strain will wind up costing him only slightly more than the minimum 10 days. He was in excellent form at the time of the injury, hitting .388/.474/.714 over his last 15 games. The 31-year-old will start at first base and bat cleanup in his return to the lineup Tuesday at San Diego. Antonio Santos was optioned in a corresponding move.

EDGE Analysis

Cron is on track to return to action following a brief stint on the injured list due to a lower-back strain. He was off to a strong start at the dish prior to the injury, hitting .290 with five homers and 15 RBI in his first 29 games. Connor Joe figures to return to a bench role following Cron's activation.

Cron was placed on the 10-day injured list with a lower-back strain Monday.

EDGE Analysis

It's a poorly-timed injury for Cron, as he was just starting to heat up at the plate, posting a 1.188 OPS over his last 15 games after struggling to a .558 OPS over his first 14. The move was backdated to Friday, so he'll be eligible to return as soon as next Monday, though it's not yet clear whether or not he's expected to do so. Matt Adams and Connor Joe have started the last four games at first base and will likely continue to split time there until Cron returns.
