September 19, 2020 7:09 PM : Cruz was scratched from the lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Cubs due to right knee soreness, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: If the issue never develops beyond soreness, Cruz likely won't miss very much time. The Twins could elect to be cautious with the slugger's 40-year-old knees, however, with their postseason berth all but secured.
