Cron (hand) will miss 6-8 weeks, Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Cron suffered a broken hand after being hit by a pitch on July 8 and will begin his recovery following surgery Tuesday. The 26-year-old was having the best season of his young career prior to the injury, hitting .278/.333/.475 with 11 home runs, 16 doubles and 50 RBI. Barring any setback, it appears Cron will be back with the Angels in late August or early September.
