Oneil Cruz on Pirates bench Tuesday
Pittsburgh Pirates infielder Oneil Cruz is not in the lineup for Tuesday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Casey Mize and the Detroit Tigers.
What It Means:
Cruz will take a breather after going 0-for-4 with 2 strikeouts on Monday. He also committed an error for the second straight game. Alika Williams will cover shortstop and hit ninth on Tuesday afternoon, while Jared Triolo will bat leadoff for the first time this season.
