Rockies manager Bud Black said Tuesday that Cron (back) is at least a week away from beginning baseball activities, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Cron has been on the shelf since mid-May due to lingering discomfort in his lower back and there remains no timetable for his return to the active roster. Nolan Jones and Elehuris Montero are currently drawing the majority of starts at first base for Colorado, with a few Mike Moustakas sightings sprinkled into the mix.

Gurriel isn't in the Marlins' lineup Tuesday against the Royals, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

After breaking a brief three-game hitting streak Monday against the Royals, Gurriel will get a breather Tuesday. Garrett Cooper will fill in at first base and bat fourth.

Bohm (hamstring) told reporters Monday that he believes he can return from the injured list when first eligible Saturday, MLB.com reports.

Bohm landed on the IL in late May with what was described as a mild left hamstring strain but seems to be experiencing improvement. It's not clear whether the 26-year-old might require a short rehab assignment before being activated. Bohm has put up a .724 OPS with six long balls in 53 games this season.

Mervis is not in the starting lineup Monday versus the Padres.

Mervis will remain on the bench for a second game in a row as the Cubs face left-hander Blake Snell on Monday. Righty bat Trey Mancini will start at first base and bat seventh in the series finale with San Diego.

Clemens is not in the starting lineup Monday versus Detroit, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Clemens will head to the bench after he went 2-for-5 with two runs scored and a strikeout in Sunday's 11-3 win over Washington. Drew Ellis will take over at first base while Edmundo Sosa will enter the lineup at third base and bat eighth in the series opener with the Tigers.

Gurriel will start at first base and bat fifth in Monday's game against the Royals, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

After producing six hits in the Marlins' weekend series with the Athletics, Gurriel will be rewarded Monday with his 13th consecutive start. Though Garrett Cooper is in the lineup as Miami's designated hitter in place of a resting Jorge Soler, Gurriel appears to have overtaken the slumping Cooper as Miami's primary first baseman.

Gurriel went 3-for-4 with a double, a triple, an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 7-5 victory over the Athletics.

Gurriel's leadoff triple in the fourth inning was his third three-bagger this year, setting a new career high in his age-39 season. He's gone 6-for-13 in his last three games following an 0-for-13 slump. Gurriel's now slashing .291/.350/.440 with three homers, 15 runs scored, 13 RBI and three stolen bases through 157 at-bats in his first season with Miami.

Cooper went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run, three RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's win over the Athletics.

Cooper tied the game 5-5 with a three-run shot off Paul Blackburn in the fifth inning -- his sixth home run of the year and his third in eight games. Sunday's two-hit performance was the first multi-hit game for the 32-year-old since May 14. He'd gone just 8-for-53 (.151) in his previous 14 contests. Cooper's now slashing .242/.278/.412 with 23 RBI through 162 plate appearances this season.

Alonso went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Blue Jays.

Alonso cut the Mets' deficit to 4-3 in the sixth inning with a line-drive homer off Nate Pearson. It's Alonso's 21st long ball of the season, extending his league lead. The power-hitting first baseman had been struggling coming into Sunday's contest, going 2-for-19 (.105) with a .255 OPS in his last five games. Alonso is now slashing .231/.324/.538 with 47 RBI in 256 plate appearances this season.

Ellis went 3-for-3 with two walks, a solo home run, a two-run home run and two additional runs scored in Sunday's 11-3 victory over the Nationals.

Ellis is filling in at third base for Alec Bohm, who was recently placed on the injured list with a hamstring issue. The former has drawn three straight starts and burst onto the scene Sunday. Coming into the contest, the 2017 second-round pick had hit just one home run across 109 career plate appearances, so it may be a stretch to expect this type of power on a regular basis. Regardless, Ellis figures to continue drawing starts with Bohm sidelined and has showcased a patient approach at the plate, drawing a walk in each of his first three starts with Philadelphia.
