2 years agoWashington Nationals designated hitter Nelson Cruz (quadriceps) is absent from the lineup for Saturday's contest against the Atlanta Braves. The veteran slugger left Friday's game early with left quadriceps tightness so this is an extra day of rest for the 42-year-old. Keibert Ruiz is filling in at DH while Tres Barrera slides behind the plate for the Nats. Cruz is slashing .242/.324/.361 with eight home runs, 48 RBI, and three stolen bases across 310 at-bats this year. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for the time being and check on his status prior to Sunday's series finale.--Jon Mathisen - RotoBaller
