Double-A Northwest Arkansas placed Cross on the 7-day injured list Monday due to back discomfort, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Cross is tending to a back issue for the second time this season. He's spent the entire 2024 campaign at Double-A, slashing .268/.348/.435 with 15 home runs, 30 stolen bases, 58 RBI and 55 runs scored over 101 contests. Given how late in the season he sustained the back injury, it's possible Cross is done playing for 2024.

First-Year Player Draft Blueprint
January 17, 2023
James Anderson presents the third-annual FYPD Blueprint — a guide for your dynasty league first-year player drafts, in which Diamondbacks phenom Druw Jones figures to be a consensus No. 1 pick.
2023 Fantasy Outlook
A lefty-hitting 6-foot-3 outfielder from Virginia Tech, Cross hit .328/.411/.660 with 17 home runs, 12 steals and a 41:30 K:BB in 57 games as a junior before the Royals selected him with the No. 9 overall pick. His swing is a little long and he has a low bat path, so keeping the strikeouts in check will be important. Cross has plus raw power, so he can profile just fine in right or left field if he gets on base enough. His 25.2 K% and 68.7 Contact% as a 21-year-old at Single-A are concerning marks, and it seems likely that Cross's monster numbers (.312 AVG, eight HR, four SB in 29 games) in the lowest stateside levels will overexcite perspective dynasty managers.
