2 years agoWashington Nationals designated hitter Nelson Cruz (knee) is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the New York Mets. Cruz was removed from Friday's game after he fouled a ball off his left knee, and isn't feeling well enough to get back in the lineup tonight. He could need a few days to fully recover, but he is expected to avoid the injured list. Cruz appears to have finally slowed down in his age 42 season, as he is slashing just .235/.315/.343 with 10 homers, although he has managed four steals, which is his most since his age 32 season. He doesn't hold much value outside of very deep leagues anymore, and can be dropped elsewhere.--Matt Garon - RotoBaller
