Fantasy Impact:

Cruz was replaced at DH by C.J. Cron. Cruz's left wrist caused him to miss a few weeks earlier in the season but it is unclear whether this is a reinjury or a new issue. Expect the Twins to update the slugger's status after the game. Cruz has been red-hot at the plate of late, so losing him to the injured list would surely be a blow to his fantasy owners and the Twins.
