The initial timeline to return is 2-4 weeks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe got his scan and it&#8217;s kind of between a Grade 1 and 2 (strain),\u201d Reds manager Terry Francona said. \u201cYou never want to lose him but I thought he did a good job of pulling up and not tearing that thing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>With the Reds leading 3-2 on Sunday, De La Cruz sent a ball into the gap against Braves starter Spencer Strider. The contact normally would have gone for a double, but De La Cruz grimaced as he reached first base and stopped. He walked off the field on his own after meeting briefly with training staff.<\/p>\n<p>De La Cruz has appeared in 276 consecutive games, the sixth-longest streak for a Reds player in the expansion era (since 1961). His streak began on July 30, 2024. He\u2019s batting .280 with 12 home runs this season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe didn&#8217;t even want to go on the IL, which I respect,\u201d Francona said. \u201cBut we need to take care of him. I\u2019ve seen how he responds and heals. It wouldn\u2019t surprise me if he\u2019s on the quick end.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Reds also recalled infielder Edwin Arroyo from triple-A Louisville, selected left-hander Brandon Leibrandt from triple-A and designated for assignment right-hander Yunior Marte.<\/p>\n<p>The 22-year-old Arroyo is batting .323 with 11 homers and 34 RBIs with a .945 OPS in 53 games.<\/p>\n<p>Francona expects Arroyo to play shortstop, second and possibly third. Arroyo is in the lineup playing second and batting eighth for Monday&#8217;s series opener against Kansas City.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CINCINNATI \u2014 Cincinnati\u00a0Reds\u00a0shortstop Elly De La Cruz was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday with a right&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":708543,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[435],"tags":[49,48,462,82],"class_list":["post-708542","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-mlb","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/708542","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=708542"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/708542\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/708543"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=708542"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=708542"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=708542"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
