On bench Friday

Análisis
Cruz left Wednesday's game with left ankle discomfort and is out of the lineup Friday for a second straight contest. Alexander Canario will patrol center field and bat seventh in Cruz's place.

Cruz jammed his ankle into the center-field wall while attempting to make a catch in the eighth frame of Wednesday's contest.

Ends homer drought
Cruz went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Tuesday against the Reds.
Análisis
Cruz blasted his 20th home run of the season in the second inning and his first since Aug. 30. He's had a very quiet September to close out a disappointing year, hitting only .192 with eight RBI, two runs scored and two stolen bases across 52 at-bats. While Cruz is hitting just .203 overall, he is two stolen bases away from a 20-40 campaign.
