June 2, 2023 6:47 PM : Cruz was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday, retroactive to June 1, with a right hamstring strain.
Analysis: Cruz suffered the injury while trying to leg out a grounder in the Padres' loss to the Marlins on Wednesday. Maybe some time away can help the veteran slugger reset himself, as he's struggled to a .238/.270/.381 batting line with three home runs through 111 plate appearances this year.
