Reds' Elly De La Cruz leaves game in 5th inning with right hamstring tightness

The Reds said no further update or timeline was announced after the 24-year-old shortstop grimaced and left on his own.

  • Cincinnati Reds shortstop Elly De La Cruz left Sunday's game against the Atlanta Braves in the fifth inning with right hamstring tightness after singling into right-center field.
  • Entering Sunday, De La Cruz had appeared in 276 consecutive games, the third-longest active streak in Major League Baseball, making him the engine for the Reds' lineup.
  • After hitting a ball into the gap against Braves starter Spencer Strider, De La Cruz "came up hopping rounding first base" before walking off the field with a trainer.
  • Manager Terry Francona confirmed Matt McClain pinch-ran for De La Cruz, with prospect Edwin Arroyo positioned as a potential replacement if the shortstop misses extended time.
  • The reeling Reds host the Kansas City Royals for a three-game series starting Monday, compounding injury woes after recently losing pitchers Graham Ashcraft and Pierce Johnson to the injured list.
