Fernando Cruz Progressing in Recovery from Oblique Injury
New York Yankees reliever Fernando Cruz (oblique) is recovering well from his left oblique strain and could resume playing catch over the weekend, according to Bryan Hoch of MLB.com. Cruz has been on the 15-day injured list since late June with what was diagnosed as a "high-grade" strain, and he's not expected to return until August. He's a valuable high-leverage reliever for the Yankees. Before getting hurt, Cruz had pitched to a 3.00 ERA and 1.00 WHIP with 54 strikeouts and two saves in 33 innings. As long as Devin Williams and Luke Weaver are healthy, Cruz should not be expected to earn more than the occasional save chance for the Yankees.
