Twins designated hitter Nelson Cruz works out daily and keeps his swing as sharp as he can while waiting for baseball to return. But the worldwide pandemic has not slowed his community service.
No games, but plenty of assists.
Last week, he and Hall of Famer Pedro Martinez were in Santiago, Dominican Republic, handing out food to needy families. They also provided supplies to a hospital near his hometown of Las Matas de Santa Cruz. Cruz is part of a coalition of about 70 current and former major leaguers from the Dominican who provide help to areas of the country that the government can't reach.
