Seattle Mariners designated hitter/outfielder Nelson Cruz is not in the starting lineup Tuesday night versus the Philadelphia Phillies.
The Mariners are playing in Philadelphia, so they won't have the luxury of a designated hitter, leaving Cruz as the odd man out on Tuesday. He is available off the bench and is likely Seattle's first choice if they need a pinch hitter.
Cruz is batting .319/.401/.560 with 7 home runs, 28 RBI's, and 15 runs scored in 137 plate appearances this season.
