Cron (hand) will start at first base and bat cleanup in Sunday's game against the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Cron will return to the starting nine for the series finale after he was on the bench for each of the Rockies' previous three games due to the left hand injury. The first-time All-Star has noticed a major drop in production in the second half -- he's hitting .214 with eight home runs, 32 RBI and 22 runs in 52 games -- but he should finish the campaign as a near-everyday player now that the hand injury looks to be behind him.

EDGE Analysis

Cron (hand) isn't starting Thursday against the Giants, Danielle Allentuck of The Denver Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cron exited Wednesday's matchup against San Francisco after being hit by a pitch, and he's been diagnosed with a left hand contusion. It doesn't appear to be a serious concern as X-rays came back negative, but Michael Toglia will start at first base and bat fifth Thursday.

Cron left Wednesday's game against the Giants early after being hit by a pitch, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cron was replaced by Elehuris Montero after getting hit in the hand by a pitch in the fourth inning. The Rockies are officially calling it a left hand contusion after x-rays came back negative. More updates will come as his status becomes clearer, but for now he should be considered day-to-day.

Cron went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and two additional RBI in a 6-3 loss to San Francisco on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Cron was responsible for all three of Colorado's runs with a solo home run in the sixth inning and two-run double in the eighth following a first inning single. The long ball is the 32-year-old's 29th of the campaign, which puts him one shy of his career-high of 30 set back in 2018 with Tampa Bay. He's in the midst of a 6-for-10 stretch on the heels of going 2-for-18 over his prior five contests.

Cron went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk in Saturday's 4-1 win over Arizona.
EDGE Analysis
Cron's sixth-inning homer didn't travel quite as far as the 504-foot blast he crushed Friday, but the 457-foot shot was plenty deep to bring home three runs and provide the margin of victory for Colorado in the contest. The slugger went deep only twice in 25 games in August, but he's already hit four homers through nine contests in September. Cron is tied for seventh in the National League with 28 homers on the campaign.

Cron went 1-for-7 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored across both games of Sunday's doubleheader against the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Cron delivered his 25th home run of the season, taking Art Warren yard in the ninth inning during the first game of Colorado's doubleheader. It marked only his fourth home run since the All-Star break, and he's hit only .205 with 19 RBI and 14 runs scored across 37 games in that span. Despite the slow stretch, Cron has still maintained a .345 wOBA and 108 wRC+ across 542 plate appearances for the season.
