Nelson Cruz News
Minnesota Twins designated hitter Nelson Cruz was one of the Majors preeminent power threats for the entirety of the 2020 season. Finishing the year with the eighth-highest OPS in the bigs (.992), Cruz said following his clubs elimination from the postseason Wednesday that he hoped to be back next season. The veteran turns 41 next July and is slated to hit free agency this winter. In two years with the Twins, Cruz slashed a staggering .308/.394/.626 across 173 games. Its unclear whether Minnesota and Cruz will be able to come to terms for a new deal, with fantasy managers likely wanting to check back ahead of next season for updates on his status.
Minnesota Twins designated hitter Nelson Cruz (knee) is once again absent from the clubs starting lineup Wednesday as he battles knee soreness, with manager Rocco Baldelli conceding that the club will not rush him back to the lineup with the playoffs around the corner. Cruz is available off the bench, although it doesnt sound as if the Twins are interested in having him run the bases. With a weekend series ahead against a stingy Reds starting staff, Cruzs season-long fantasy prognosis isnt sparkling, with Minnesota in no rush to bring his powerful bat back into the fold.
Minnesota Twins designated hitter Nelson Cruz (knee) is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Detroit Tigers. Cruz has not appeared in a game since Friday due to soreness in his knee. The 40-year-old slugger is considered day-to-day, but with the postseason approaching, the Twins will probably play it safe. In his absence, Ryan Jeffers is serving as the team's DH and will bat eighth against Tarik Skubal. He is not a recommended fantasy play in any format.
