## Resource

Oneil Cruz’s season is on hold after fracturing his fourth and fifth metacarpals sliding into home plate — now facing a 4-6 week recovery window that could sideline him through the All-Star break and cost the Pirates 25-34 games. Before the injury, Cruz was a standout: hitting well, crushing homers, driving in runs, and stealing bases. His sudden absence is a major blow to Pittsburgh’s lineup, especially since he was pinch-running when the injury occurred. The team’s focus is now squarely on his recovery, hoping for a smooth return to help turn things around. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
