TORONTO — With a lineup decimated by injuries, the Angels swung a deal to pick up first baseman C.J. Cron and outfielder Randal Grichuk from the Colorado Rockies on Sunday night.
This is the second significant trade the Angels have made in the last five days, after adding pitchers Lucas Giolito and Reynaldo López last week. Grichuk has since played 10 years in the majors with the Cardinals, Toronto Blue Jays and Rockies. He has a career .251 average with a .766 OPS. The Angels are expecting infielder Brandon Drury, who has been out with shoulder inflammation, to be back by Thursday. Shortstop Zach Neto is currently day to day with back stiffness.
