De La Cruz Near Return

Elly De La Cruz could return to the Cincinnati Reds soon after a hamstring injury sidelined him since June—he’s been progressing with light drills and may start a rehab assignment this weekend. Before the injury, he was hitting .280 with 12 homers and had a streak of over 200 consecutive games snapped. Manager Terry Francona emphasized patience and recovery over rushing, stressing the need to avoid re-injury. A final run-through today could mean he’s back on the field very soon.
