Angels send C.J. Cron to Triple-A Salt Lake, recall Grant Green

ANAHEIM - C.J. Cron hadn't notched an extra-base hit in a month and hadn't walked in five weeks. After Monday's win, the Angels sent him down to Triple-A Salt Lake to find the swing he long ago lost, replacing him with Grant Green.

Green won't start Tuesday night against the San Diego Padres and right-hander Odrisamer Despaigne. Angels manager Mike Scioscia said his role won't be noticeably different than it's been in previous stints, which indicates he won't play much at all.

Green got one start, and six total at-bats, in his first trip up to the majors in late April, which lasted just over a week.
