Elly De La Cruz - Nearing rehab assignment De La Cruz (hamstring) could be cleared to begin a rehab assignment later this week, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports. Impact The Reds plan to have De La Cruz test his strained right hamstring by running the bases Monday and Tuesday, and if all goes well, the 24-year-old will join a minor-league affiliate for what will presumably be an abbreviated rehab stint. While De La Cruz has been shelved, Matt McLain has taken over as the Reds' primary shortstop, clearing the way for Edwin Arroyo and Spencer Steer to pick up more reps at second base.
