Summary
Pirates’ star center fielder Oneil Cruz is sidelined with left hand discomfort, forcing Jake Mangum into the spotlight as he steps in against the Dodgers. Cruz, who injured his hand sliding into home plate, is day-to-day and missed his first start since June 6th — though he did pinch-run. A critical loss for a player having a historic season: Cruz leads the NL in stolen bases and is crushing it offensively, especially over his last 14 games. His absence hits hard, but the Pirates are banking on a quick return from their dynamic sparkplug. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
