Elly De La Cruz | Fantasy Outlook

Elly De La Cruz Sidelined by Hamstring Strain, but Progressing Toward a Mid-June Return

The fifth-place Reds, sitting at 31-33 and riding a four-game losing streak, have struggled since their dynamic shortstop landed on the injured list with a right hamstring strain on May 31. His trending stats over his last six games prior to the injury showed a dip to a .208 average, but his everyday role in the lineup remains undisputed. Encouragingly, Cincinnati's medical staff moved up his follow-up MRI to Friday, June 12, signaling ahead-of-schedule healing.

This hamstring injury halts an outstanding breakout campaign for the 24-year-old. Through 58 games, he is slashing .280/.348/.509 with 12 home runs and 10 steals, showing significant growth over his career .264 average from last season. Our data remains highly optimistic, projecting 23 home runs and 34 stolen bases rest-of-season, confirming that his improved plate discipline and elite power-speed traits are entirely sustainable.

Cincinnati has six games scheduled this week, beginning with a road trip to San Diego before returning home to host Arizona. Because De La Cruz is not scheduled for his follow-up MRI until Friday, he is guaranteed to miss this entire week's slate regardless of the matchups. Keep him benched for now as he focuses on his rehabilitation. Verdict: Sit.
