News and Notes

Jul 3
Cruz has left the Rangers' game against the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday night in the sixth inning because of a stiff lower back. Advice: Cruz played the field in the top half of the inning before he was replaced by rookie Julio Borbon, who delivered a pinch-hit RBI single for his first career hit. Cruz, who was 1 for 2 with a run scored, is hitting .264 with 19 home runs and 47 RBIs. |

Cruz (back) received treatment before Friday's game, the Dallas Morning News reports. He went 1-for-4 with a double in the game. Recommendation: The double came in his first at-bat, and he barely missed hitting his 20th home run of the season. It does not seem like the back will be an issue going forward. |
