Twins place 1B Cron on 10-day injured list

The Minnesota Twins placed first baseman C.J. Cron on the 10-day injured list on Saturday due to right thumb inflammation. Cron is hitting .266 with 17 home runs and 54 RBIs in 78 games this season. He went 2-for-5 with a pair of doubles on Friday as the Twins routed the Texas Rangers 15-6.

The 29-year-old is in his first season with the Twins after spending last season with the Tampa Bay Rays. In a corresponding move, the Twins recalled outfielder LaMonte Wade Jr. from Triple-A Rochester. Wade had just been optioned back to Rochester last Saturday after appearing in his major league debut.

Wade is hitting .246 with five home runs in 77 games at Rochester this season.
