Fernando Cruz Ready for Rehab Assignment
Fernando Cruz (oblique) threw 19 pitches in a live batting practice session on Monday and is looking at a three-appearance rehab stint before being activated, reports Bryan Hoch of MLB.com. He last pitched in a major league game on June 27, before landing on the injured list with a strained oblique. Rehab assignments typically go much quicker for relievers than starters since they don't have to wait almost a week between outings, so Cruz could potentially be activated as soon as next week if things go according to plan. He was very good prior to the injury, posting a 3.00 ERA and 1.00 WHIP with 54 strikeouts in 33 innings.
