Oneil Cruz Not Returning on Monday
Oneil Cruz (concussion) is not returning from the seven-day concussion injured list on Monday for the series opener against the division-rival St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium, according to interim manager Don Kelly. The team is taking it day by day with Cruz, but Kelly said that the 26-year-old came out of his rehab assignment over the weekend with Double-A Altoona feeling good. Cruz had a locker in the clubhouse in St. Louis on Monday, so he should come off the IL and play in Tuesday's game. Jack Suwinski is making another start in center field on Monday and will hit seventh against Cardinals right-hander Michael McGreevy. Cruz is barely hitting over .200 on the year, but he's fantasy relevant in all leagues because of his power speed combination -- he has 18 bombs and a league-high 34 steals in 108 games.
