6 years agoSeattle Mariners designated hitter Nelson Cruz may be heading to the bench for the next few games as the Mariners open up an interleague series against the Padres. Cruz is rarely deployed in the field and may be relegated to pinch-hitting duties. Cruz this season leads the team with 31 home runs and is slashing .267/.352/.535 through 409 at-bats this season. Fantasy owners of the 38-year-old will have to be patient until the Mariners come back over to face the American League.--Joey C - RotoBaller
