Cron was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday.

The day after he bashed a grand slam, the Angels opted to send the 27-year-old back to the minors. Cron seemed to be finding his stroke at the plate again, hitting safely in his past four games to raise his batting average 16 points, but it seems that the team wants him to get more consistent at-bats in the minors. It's unclear how long the Angels plan for him to stay with Salt Lake, but he'll likely need to show off a steady power stroke if he wants to sniff the majors again. Infielder Nolan Fontana was recalled to take his spot on the roster.
