C.J. Cron sitting for Colorado Thursday night

Colorado Rockies first baseman C.J. Cron is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's series finale against left-hander Trevor Rogers and the Miami Marlins.

What It Means:

Cron has gone 1-for-16 and struck out seven times in his last five appearances. This is the second time in the last three games he's been held out of the lineup. Josh Fuentes will start on first base in Thursday's contest and hit seventh.

numberFire’s models project Fuentes for 7.5 FanDuel points and he has a $2,400 salary on Thursday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Rockies have the lowest implied total (3.2 runs) in the majors on Thursday.
