NELSON
HAMS IT UP; NO LONGER IN CRUZ CONTROL
Posted on 04/27/2010 by Si Korot
What are
ya smilin' for Cruz... you're killin' me!!!
The Texas Rangers put outfielder Nelson Cruz on the
15 day disabled list with a case of hot hammy… a right hamstring strain.
Cruz had strained that thing many times in the past two weeks, coming
out of games, sitting out here and there, while DHing in others. What he
really had needed was two or three days off to recover, but when your
outfielder is among the AL leaders in homers and RBI (with a .320
batting average to boot), it is not always the thing you most want to
do.
Cruz re-tweaked the hamstring on Monday, coming out of a game against
Detroit after two at bats. At present doctors see it as a temporary
condition that will be cured with rest. The downside is that based on
awesome numbers that Cruz put up last season (.260/33/76/20 SBs) despite
missing around 30 games with an injury, his owners were expecting a lot
from a healthy Cruz this season. They were treated to such so far, too.
It is only two weeks, so no major harm done. The really bad news? I own
him in three freakin’ leagues. @#$%&*!!!
