Nelson Cruz Day-To-Day With Eye Inflammation
2 years agoWashington Nationals designated hitter Nelson Cruz (eye) was diagnosed with left eye inflammation by an eye specialist after he experienced blurry vision during the Sept. 13 game against the Baltimore Orioles. He was given eye drops. "He's better," manager Dave Martinez said about Cruz. "The drops are working. It's very slow, but he said he feels better today. He's actually going to go out and take some batting practice today and see how well he can see the ball. It's good news, so hopefully we can get him back here in a few days." The 42-year-old slugger was out again on Monday against the Atlanta Braves and isn't a lock to return to the lineup on Tuesday. Cruz has played in only eight games so far in September and has gone 7-for-28 (.250) with no homers, one RBI and four runs scored.
