The Rays have acquired first baseman C.J. Cron from the Angels and designated outfielder Corey Dickerson for assignment to make room on the 40-man roster.

The 28-year-old Cron was acquired Saturday night in exchange for a player to be named. He appeared in 100 games with 92 starts last season, hitting .248 with 16 homers and 56 RBIs.
