Playing regularly in right field De La Cruz will start in right field and bat eighth Sunday against the Rockies, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. Impact Since joining the Marlins' active roster July 30 following his trade from the Astros, De La Cruz has now started 10 consecutive games in right field. After going 1-for-14 through his first four games, De La Cruz appears to have solidified his hold on the job by going 8-for-19 with a double, two RBI and a run scored over the subsequent five contests. De La Cruz's stable playing time makes him worthy of rostering in NL-only formats, though he'll need to provide some more categorical juice before generating interest in most deeper mixed leagues.
