With C.J. Cron on IL, Tigers forced to mix and match defensively and with batting order

Detroit — No matter how many times the replay was viewed Monday night, even in slow-motion, you never got a clear look at where or if the hard-hit ground ball by Danny Mendick struck Tigers first baseman C.J. Cron.

All you knew for sure was Cron was down and in a ton of pain, eventually helped off the field by head athletic trainer Doug Teter and manager Ron Gardenhire. Turns out, Cron wasn’t hit by the ball, at least that’s not what caused his injury.
