May 17, 2022 3:42 PM : Cruz (illness) will bat cleanup and serve as the designated hitter Tuesday against the Marlins.
Analysis: Cruz was scratched from Monday's lineup due to an illness, but that was evidently merely a one-day problem. He'll return to his regular role Tuesday and will look to build on a run which has seen him hit .333/.405/.545 with a pair of homers over his last nine games.
