Cruz was undergoing a MRI on Sunday morning to determine the extent of his right ankle sprain
The status of Nelson Cruz and his availability for the upcoming three-city, eight-game road trip is yet to be determined.
The slugging designated hitter injured his right ankle in the dugout in Saturday’s 6-5 loss to the Indians. Cruz slipped on the bottom step of the dugout and twisted his ankle falling over. He was in a walking boot after the game and was undergoing a MRI before Sunday’s series finale against the Indians.
“Obviously he’s not going to be available today,” manager Scott Servais said.
