De La Cruz Near Return After Injury

Elly De La Cruz is making major progress in his hamstring recovery, with MRIs showing he’s nearly 90% healed — and he’s itching to return. Manager Terry Francona praised his determination, though the team remains cautious to avoid setbacks. Before his injury, De La Cruz was hitting .280 with 12 homers and 37 RBIs in 58 games — his absence has been felt. The Reds, currently last in the NL Central at 32-35, are playing a series against the Diamondbacks while waiting to see when he’ll officially return.
