Boston Red Sox player Jarren Duran is working on improving his speed by adjusting his running form to be more efficient, aiming to be even faster despite already being one of the fastest players in the major leagues. He made his spring training debut after recovering from surgery and is preparing for both center and left field. The team also signed veteran first baseman C.J. Cron to compete for a spot on the bench, and pitcher Lucas Giolito took a loss in a recent game.
The Boston Red Sox have signed veteran first baseman C.J. Cron to a minor league deal, adding competition for Bobby Dalbec's roster spot. Cron, a former All-Star, provides a right-handed hitting option at first base and may challenge Dalbec for a backup role behind Triston Casas. With a career .260 batting average and 187 homers, Cron brings power but less positional versatility. Both players will have a chance to make the team before Opening Day, with Cron having an opt-out clause.
The Los Angeles Angels have acquired outfielder Randal Grichuk and first baseman C.J. Cron from the Colorado Rockies in exchange for pitchers Jake Madden and Mason Albright.

Both players are expected to join the Angels for their upcoming game against the Atlanta Braves.
The Colorado Rockies have placed Kris Bryant on the 10-day injured list due to a fractured left index finger. This adds to Bryant's frustrating season, which has already been marred by injuries.

The Colorado Rockies have selected the contract of left-hander Fernando Abad and recalled infielder/outfielder Michael Toglia from Triple-A Albuquerque. In corresponding moves, first baseman C.J. Cron was placed on the 10-day injured list while right-hander Nick Mears was placed on the 15-day IL, retroactive to May 12, due to a left oblique strain. Abad gets back to the big leagues for the first time in two years, while Toglia comes up for the first time this season to at least factor into the first base mix.
Bryce Harper was ejected after charging towards Colorado's dugout in response to a comment made by Rockies reliever Jake Bird. Harper was restrained by Rockies catcher Elias Díaz and Phillies third base coach Dusty Wathan. Kyle Freeland dominated for six innings on his 30th birthday in the Rockies' 4-0 win over the Phillies. C.J. Cron left in the third inning with back spasms and may be heading to the injured list.
The Philadelphia Phillies defeated the Colorado Rockies 7-4 in the second game of their three-game series. Jeff Hoffman, a former Rockies player, pitched a scoreless eighth inning to help secure the win. Nick Castellanos hit a line drive off Rockies starter Ryan Feltner's head, but Feltner was able to walk off the field.

In minor league news, Nolan Jones had a strong debut for the Triple-A Albuquerque Isotopes.
