  • Pirates' Oneil Cruz: Sitting versus southpaw

    Cruz is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Yankees.

    The left-handed-hitting Cruz will be given a day off as the Yankees send southpaw Carlos Rodon to the bump. Billy Cook is in center field and batting ninth for the Pirates in the series opener.

  • Pirates' Oneil Cruz: Tallies 20th homer

    Cruz went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored Friday against the Reds.

    Cruz hasn't hit for much power across the last six weeks, as Friday's shot was only his second homer in his last 35 games. Nevertheless, it was his 20th of the season -- his first time hitting that threshold -- and he has still put together an encouraging second half. Since the All-Star break, he's hit .302 with a .368 on-base percentage to go along with 15 stolen bases.

  • Pirates' Oneil Cruz: Sitting out with ankle injury

    Cruz (ankle) is not in the lineup for Monday's contest in St. Louis, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Cruz exited Sunday's game against the Royals due to left ankle discomfort. The ankle is the same one he fractured in April 2023, and he also missed a handful of games this season due to soreness in the ankle. The Pirates are viewing Cruz as day-to-day. Billy Cook will pick up the start in center field and will bat ninth in Monday's series opener.

  • Pirates' Oneil Cruz: Dealing with ankle injury

    Cruz exited Sunday's 4-3 win over the Royals in the seventh inning due to a left ankle injury, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Cruz is dealing with left ankle discomfort after slipping in the outfield according to manager Derek Shelton. Shelton said that the 26-year-old "was able to run" and that it later "stiffened up." Cruz finished his day 1-for-2 with a walk and a run scored against Kansas City. The Pirates will start a four-game series in St. Louis on Monday, and it's unclear if Cruz will be ready to go for the opener.
