Nelson Cruz Starting Rehab Assignment This Weekend
6 years agoMinnesota Twins designated hitter Nelson Cruz (wrist) is set to start his rehab assignment with Single-A Fort Myers on Saturday. Barring any setbacks, it's possible the veteran slugger returns from the injured list as soon as Monday. The 38-year-old is hitting .270/.354/.508 on the season with seven home runs, 19 runs scored and 22 RBI in 126 at-bats. Cruz remains a source of power in deeper mixed leagues in this strong Twins offense when he's healthy. His return will likely mean that Marwin Gonzalez will lose everyday playing time and become a super-utility player for Minnesota.
