Elly De La Cruz nursing quad tightness, shifted to DH role
The Reds shortstop left Sunday's game early with quadriceps tightness but was back in the lineup Monday as designated hitter.
Elly De La Cruz exited a Reds game on Sunday due to quadriceps tightness. He was not kept out of the lineup entirely, returning the next day as the designated hitter rather than playing his usual position. The move to DH suggests the team is managing his workload while monitoring the injury. Quadriceps tightness can escalate if not properly managed, making his day-to-day status worth tracking.
