"You don't have to get [at-bats] seven days [a week], but if you are getting them one day a week, then there's a discussion of what's best for the team and what's best for the player," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "C.J. has gotten enough at-bats where if he's swinging like he can, he'd be contributing. But he hasn't found that swing yet."
Cron has a .200/.222/.274 slash line through his first 99 plate appearances and has mustered just three hits in his last 29 at-bats. He's managed 10 hits in 34 at-bats against lefties, and that's pretty much the only time the right-handed-hitting Cron gets in the lineup these days.
