Oneil Cruz is back on the field after a two-month hand injury, starting his rehab assignment in Triple-A with a quiet but promising debut—zero-for-one with two walks. Though he’s been sidelined since June, the Pirates are easing him back with careful at-bats as he works toward rejoining the big club by August 14th. Before his injury, Cruz was crushing it with 14 homers and 21 steals in just 64 games, projected for 40 homers and 60 steals. His return is huge for a Pirates team eager to see their star center fielder back in action.
