    Oneil Cruz is not in the lineup for Monday’s contest against the division-rival Reds.
    Cruz takes a seat for Monday’s series opener after going 0-for-8 with seven strikeouts in a pair of contests over the weekend following a five-game absence due to lower back tightness. It’ll be rookie Alexander Canario patrolling center field in his place during Monday’s game.
  • PIT Center Fielder #15
    Oneil Cruz went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts on Saturday in his return to the lineup.
    It doesn’t come as a total surprise to see Cruz looking a bit rusty following a five-game absence due to lower back tightness. The electrifying 26-year-old talent may need a couple games to get back up to full speed, but there’s zero reason for fantasy managers to be concerned unless the back issues resurface.
  • PIT Center Fielder #15
    Oneil Cruz (back) is leading off and playing center field against the Phillies on Saturday.
    Cruz is back after missing five straight games for the Pirates due to lower back tightness. The 26-year-old offers some of the best power/speed potential in the sport, and he should be inserted back into starting lineups immediately.
  • PIT Center Fielder #15
    Oneil Cruz (back) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday’s contest against the Mets.
    Cruz remains out of the lineup for the fourth consecutive game due to lower back tightness. There’s been zero indication that he’s headed to the injured list, but it seems like a realistic outcome at this juncture. The 26-year-old fantasy star has eight homers and 16 steals this season through 37 games. It’ll be Ji Hwan Bae in center field on Wednesday night at Citi Field.
  • PIT Center Fielder #15
    Oneil Cruz (back) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday’s showdown against the Mets.
    It’s time for fantasy managers to increase their level of concern with Cruz absent from Pittsburgh’s lineup for the third straight game due to lower back tightness. The 26-year-old power/speed combo outfielder has launched eight homers and stolen 16 bases this season through 37 games. He remains day-to-day for now. It’ll be Ji Hwan Bae patrolling center field on Tuesday night in his place.
  • PIT Center Fielder #15
    Oneil Cruz (back) remains absent from the lineup for Monday’s series opener against the Mets.
    Cruz will miss his second consecutive game following an early exit from Saturday’s game with lower back tightness. It doesn’t sound like a significant concern, but it’s a situation fantasy managers should continue to monitor. The 26-year-old fantasy star leads the majors with 16 stolen bases in 37 games this season. It’ll be rookie Alexander Canario patrolling center field on Monday night at Citi Field.
  • PIT Center Fielder #15
    Oneil Cruz (back) is absent from the lineup for Sunday’s game against Atlanta.
    Cruz will sit out Sunday’s series finale following a precautionary exit from the 11th inning of Saturday’s extra-inning showdown at PNC Park due to lower-back tightness. The 26-year-old spark plug figures to rejoin Pittsburgh’s lineup when they kick off a three-game series on Monday against the Mets at Citi Field. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. It’ll be Alexander Canario taking over in center field with Tommy Pham back in the lineup following a two-game absence due to illness.
  • PIT Center Fielder #15
    Oneil Cruz was removed from Saturday’s game against Atlanta with lower back tightness.
    The Pirates are calling Cruz day-to-day after he left late in the contest. It seems likely that the 26-year-old will get the series finale off Sunday, but the hope is that he can return to playing center for the Pirates in the early portion of next week.
  • PIT Center Fielder #15
    Oneil Cruz stole two bases and scored two runs in a loss Friday to the Pirates.
    Cruz didn’t get a hit, but he was able to draw a pair of walks and put his incredible speed to work. The 26-year-old has swiped 14 bags over 32 games, putting him on pace for right around 70. That’ll work, and so will his .883 OPS.
  • PIT Center Fielder #15
    Oneil Cruz hit a leadoff homer in Saturday’s loss to the Dodgers for the Pirates while driving in a pair of runs.
    Cruz smoked a homer to begin the game off Roki Sasaki to center field, and he’s up to eight homers on the year. The 26-year-old will have highs and lows because of how much swing-and-miss exists in his profile, but his very solid .267/.370/.567 slash is an indicator of what he’s capable of when he’s at his best.
