Cron got the nod at first against the right-handed Mike Fiers on Saturday, going 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in a 3-1 loss to the Astros.

It appeared that a platoon at first base with Luis Valbuena was developing, but manager Mike Scioscia revealed his plans to give both players semi-regular playing time, according to The Orange County Register's Jeff Fletcher. Cron has started four of the six games since being recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake, contributing a home run and four RBI over that span. A strict platoon would have depleted the majority of the 27-year-old's fantasy value, but with the news of a time share, deep-league owners could look to the slugger for some sporadic power.
