BRYAN DE LA CRUZ NEWS

Not in Wednesday's lineup De La Cruz (forearm) isn't starting Wednesday against Washington, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact The 25-year-old started in the last three games and went 4-for-9 with three doubles, a run and a strikeout. However, he was removed from Tuesday's win over the Nationals after being his by a pitch on his right forearm. It's not yet clear whether De La Cruz will be available off the bench, but Jesus Sanchez will start in center field and bat sixth.

Exits Tuesday's game after HBP De La Cruz went 0-for-1 in Tuesday's win over the Nationals before being replaced by Jesus Sanchez after being hit in the forearm by a pitch in the bottom of the fourth inning.

Impact Sanchez took over defensively in center field to begin the fifth. De La Cruz was diagnosed with a contusion on his right arm after being struck by a Joan Adon fastball, and the 25-year-old outfielder was seen wearing a compression sleeve after the game. The Marlins should have a better idea how long De La Cruz will be out of action after the swelling on his forearm goes down.

Gets third straight start De La Cruz will start in center field and bat sixth in Tuesday's game against the Nationals, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact De La Cruz will be rewarded with his third consecutive start in the outfield, with the latter two coming at the expense of Jesus Sanchez, who remains on the bench for the second time in as many days. Manager Don Mattingly has notably handed the righty-hitting De La Cruz all three of his starts against right-handed pitching, and the 25-year-old has rewarded that faith by going 4-for-8 with three doubles and a run scored between his last two games. De La Cruz could continue to handle a quasi-regular role in the outfield while he's wielding a hot bat.

Back in majors De La Cruz was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Brian Anderson (undisclosed) was placed on the injured list in a corresponding move. De La Cruz will likely see time in center field against lefties while he is up this time around.

Sent down Thursday De La Cruz was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact De La Cruz made the Marlins' Opening Day roster this year and slashed .316/.440/.474 with a homer, five RBI and three runs over 16 games. However, he saw fairly inconsistent playing time, so he should see at-bats on a more regular basis in Jacksonville.

On base three times Sunday De la Cruz went 2-for-4 with a walk, a run scored and an RBI in Sunday's win over the Phillies.

Impact The 25-year-old has started three of the last five games, going 3-for-9 with four walks. De La Cruz is still looking for his first extra-base hit of the year, but if he keeps getting on base he should see semi-consistent playing time on manager Don Mattingly's lineup cards, giving him some deep-league fantasy value.

Rejoins major-league club De La Cruz has made the Marlins' Opening Day roster, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact De La Cruz was sent down by the Marlins on March 26, but he'll ultimately be included on the Opening Day roster as a fourth outfielder. The 25-year-old appeared in 58 games for Miami last year and slashed .296/.356/.427 with five home runs, 19 RBI and 17 runs.

Optioned to Triple-A De La Cruz was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact De La Cruz's demotion comes as a bit of a surprise, as he appeared in 58 games for the Marlins last year and was in contention to serve as the team's starting center fielder ahead of the 2022 campaign. However, the team will opt to send him to the minors for more regular at-bats early in the year rather than have him take on a depth role for Miami. He appeared in four spring games this year and went 2-for-7 with a double and a run.

CF job remains open De La Cruz will continue to get a look in center field for the Marlins, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Center field has been the biggest hole Miami general manager Kim Ng has been looking to fill this offseason, but Saturday's signing of Jorge Soler may be the last big-name player the team brings in, leaving internal options to compete for the CF job. De La Cruz played all three outfield spots last season, slashing .296/.356/.427 in 58 games for the Marlins, and the club would like to give the 25-year-old a chance to prove that production wasn't a small-sample fluke. Avisail Garcia and Jesus Sanchez could also get looks this spring in center but might be better fits in the outfield corners, while non-roster invitees Roman Quinn and Delino DeShields will also see some action as manager Don Mattingly sorts through his options.

Impact De La Cruz has gone 0-for-15 with six strikeouts across the last four games, and he'll get a breather in Thursday's series finale. Magneuris Sierra will start in center field and bat eighth.

Homers, scores thrice Wednesday De La Cruz went 1-for-3 with a home run, two walks, two RBI and three runs scored in Wednesday's 8-6 win over Washington.

Impact The 24-year-old contributed to Miami's last comeback push in the contest. He hit a solo shot in the eighth inning before hitting into a game-tying fielder's choice in the ninth. De La Cruz is 14-for-47 (.298) with three homers, eight RBI and nine runs scored through 13 games in September. He's seen a regular role in the outfield since he was called up in late July.

Slugs homer among three hits De La Cruz went 3-for-4 with a home run, a walk and two RBI in a 6-4 victory against Atlanta on Saturday.

Impact The rookie netted Miami's first run of the game with an RBI single in the first inning, and he snapped a 3-3 tie with his eighth-inning solo shot. The three-hit performance was his second in his past four games, and he is batting ..471 (8-for-17) over that stretch. De La Cruz has been impressive through 38 big-league contests, slashing .349/.397/.496 with four homers, 15 RBI and a stolen base.
