Nelson Cruz Still Out In Game 2 Friday
2 years agoWashington Nationals designated hitter Nelson Cruz (eye) remains out of the starting lineup for Game 2 of the doubleheader on Friday against the Philadelphia Phillies and right-hander Noah Syndergaard. At this point, it seems likely that the 42-year-old veteran won't play again before the end of the regular season next week. He's missed the last 14 games with left eye inflammation in what could be the final season of a Hall of Fame career. If he doesn't play in another game before next Wednesday, he'll finish the 2022 season with a .234/.313/.337 slash line with 10 homers, 64 RBI, 50 runs and four steals in 448 at-bats. Luke Voit will continue to serve as the DH in Game 2 while hitting cleanup against Syndergaard.
