Injury Report

10 entries
  • Jun 19, 2026·Issue #060·IL-10

    Right hamstring strain, on the IL since June 8. A follow-up MRI shows approximately 90% healing — on schedule medically. A logistical travel issue delayed his planned Thursday arrival in Gwinnett with Triple-A Louisville's affiliate, pushing his Friday shortstop appearance back by at least a day. Manager Terry Francona confirmed the hamstring is not the issue. Revised activation target is now June 24–26 rather than the original June 23.

  • Jun 18, 2026·Issue #059·IL-10

    Right hamstring strain, on the IL since June 8. Follow-up MRI showed approximately 90% healing. Rehab plan begins today at Triple-A Louisville/Gwinnett: five shortstop innings Friday, DH Saturday, full game Sunday. Earliest activation is June 23 against Milwaukee. The structured ramp-up is cautious but on-track — Terry Francona's explicit plan through the weekend is a reassuring signal that the Reds are managing this correctly.

  • Jun 17, 2026·Issue #058·IL-10

    Right hamstring strain, placed on IL June 8. Scans confirmed the hamstring is 90% healed and a rehab assignment could begin as early as the June 19–21 weekend. The fastest pathway back has De La Cruz in Cincinnati's lineup by June 23–24. Hold in all formats.

  • Jun 16, 2026·Issue #057·IL-10

    Right hamstring strain, sustained June 8. Initially projected 2–4 weeks, but manager Terry Francona confirmed the hamstring is 90% healed and a rehab assignment could begin as early as the June 19–21 weekend. De La Cruz reportedly wanted to return before the weekend; the Reds are being appropriately cautious.

  • Jun 10, 2026·Issue #048·IL-10

    Strained his right hamstring on June 8 while driving to the gap. MRI confirmed the strain; the Reds expect a 2–4 week absence on the 10-day IL. Prior to the injury he was one of the better SS options in fantasy with stolen base and power upside.

  • Jun 9, 2026·Issue #052·IL-10

    Right hamstring strain (Grade 1-2) placed De La Cruz on the IL with a 2-4 week initial timeline from manager Terry Francona. He had been one of baseball's most productive players heading into June and saw his MLB-leading 276-game consecutive games streak end. Edwin Arroyo (.323/.383/.562 in Triple-A, 11 HR, 9 SB) takes over as Cincinnati's everyday shortstop.

  • Jun 8, 2026·Issue #051·IL-10

    Grade 1-2 right hamstring strain placed De La Cruz on IL retroactive to May 31. Manager Terry Francona cited a 2-4 week timeline with a mid-June MRI to reassess. A mid-to-late June return is realistic with clean imaging. Edwin Arroyo (.323/.383/.562, 11 HR, 9 SB in Triple-A) was promoted and is already the most valuable player to add off the waiver wire.

  • Jun 6, 2026·Issue #049·IL-10

    Right hamstring strain (Grade 1–2 per MRI), sustained rounding first base. Timeline of 2–4 weeks — the optimistic read is Grade 1, which could bring him back at the shorter end. The Reds were cautious about not letting him push through it after he aggravated a quad injury in 2025 by playing through similar discomfort.

  • Jun 4, 2026·Issue #047·IL-10

    Right hamstring strain (Grade 1–2), placed on IL Monday after leaving Sunday's win over the Braves. Terry Francona confirmed a 2–4 week timeline; a follow-up MRI is planned for two weeks out. First IL stint of his career.

  • Jun 2, 2026·Issue #045·IL-10

    Right hamstring strain (Grade 1-2), placed on IL retroactive to June 1. Terry Francona described the severity as "kind of between a Grade 1 and 2" with a mid-June MRI to assess recovery. A 3-4 week minimum absence is the working timeline; the Reds are not expected to rush his return.
