April 13, 2021 1:31 PM : The Twins scratched Cruz from the lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Red Sox due to a non-COVID-19 illness, Megan Ryan of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Analysis: Miguel Sano will step in as the Twins' designated hitter in place of Cruz, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports. Cruz is day-to-day and will look to move past the illness in time for a doubleheader with Boston on Wednesday.
