Cron's left wrist injury affected him while swinging Monday against the Padres, resulting in him being absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
The slugger returned to action Monday after missing two games after he was hit by a pitch on his left wrist, and he went 0-for-4 with a sacrifice fly and three strikeouts in his return. Cron should be considered day-to-day for now, and the Rockies are likely to be cautious with their first baseman to avoid aggravating the injury, especially with the All-Star break on the horizon.

Cron is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Cron missed two games after being hit by a pitch on his left wrist before starting Monday, and he'll head back to the bench Tuesday after going 0-for-4 with a sacrifice fly in his return. A setback hasn't been reported, but it's worth keeping an eye on the 32-year-old to see if he's back in the lineup Wednesday.

Cron (wrist) went 0-for-4 with a sacrifice fly and three strikeouts in Monday's 6-5 loss to the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Cron missed two games after he was hit by a pitch on his left wrist in Friday's contest. His timing was a little off in his return, but there's little reason for fantasy managers to be concerned about the first baseman. He's maintained a reasonable 26 percent strikeout rate while slashing .292/.345/.544 with 20 home runs, 67 RBI, 49 runs scored and 19 doubles in 85 contests. Cron has hit safely in 12 of his last 14 games, going 15-for-52 (.288) in that span.

Cron (wrist) will start at first base and bat third in Monday's game against the Padres, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cron's return from a two-game absence due to a left wrist contusion is a big boon for fantasy managers as the Rockies kick off a seven-game homestand to close out their first-half schedule. Assuming he doesn't incur any setbacks with his wrist or misses time due to another injury, Cron should be on track to start at least six games this week. The 32-year-old is hitting .295 with 20 home runs, 66 RBI and 49 runs through 84 games this season.

EDGE Analysis
He'll sit for the second game in a row after he was initially removed from Friday's 6-5 win with a left wrist contusion. Connor Joe will pick up a start at first base in place of Cron, who is day-to-day in advance of Monday's series opener versus the Padres at Coors Field.

Cron (wrist) isn't expected to require a trip to the injured list after leaving Friday's game against the Diamondbacks, Kyle Newman of The Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cron was hit in the wrist by a pitch Friday but underwent X-rays that came back negative. His hand was wrapped after the game, but he's already pushing to play Saturday, Danielle Allentuck of The Denver Gazette reports. Even if Cron is held out Saturday, he doesn't appear to be in line for a significant absence.

Cron was removed from Friday's game against the Diamondbacks in the top of the fifth inning due to a left wrist contusion.
EDGE Analysis
Cron went 1-for-2 with a double and an RBI to begin Friday's game but was hit by a pitch in the top of the fifth inning and removed from the game. He underwent X-rays that came back negative, so he should tentatively be considered day-to-day. If Cron misses additional time, Connor Joe and Elehuris Montero are candidates for increased looks at first base.
