Oneil Cruz, the Pittsburgh Pirates’ highly-touted shortstop prospect, is optimistic as he reaches the halfway mark in his rehabilitation from a broken left ankle. The injury occurred in late June while Cruz was playing in the Dominican Summer League.
Cruz, who was signed by the Pirates in 2017, had been making a name for himself in the minor leagues before the injury. He had been hitting .302 with five home runs and 28 RBIs in the Gulf Coast League. He was also named to the All-Star team in the Dominican Summer League.
The 20-year-old Cruz has been working hard to make a full recovery from his injury. He has been doing physical therapy and strength training to help him get back to full health. He has also been working on his hitting and fielding skills to make sure he is ready for the upcoming season.
The Pirates have been very supportive of Cruz throughout his recovery. They have provided him with the best medical care and have kept him updated on his progress. They have also been in contact with him to make sure he is staying positive and motivated throughout the process.
Cruz is expected to be ready for spring training next year and is looking forward to getting back on the field. He is confident that he will be able to make a full recovery and is eager to show what he can do when he returns.
The Pirates are hoping that Cruz will be able to make a full recovery and continue to develop into a major league shortstop. With his hard work and dedication, there is no doubt that he will be able to make a successful return and become an important part of the Pirates’ future.
