Hits in seven straight De La Cruz went 2-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and an RBI in Saturday's 8-5 loss to Baltimore.

Impact De La Cruz's RBI-single in the second inning gave the Reds a 4-3 lead and extended a hit streak to seven games, during which he's 10-for-29 (.345). He then stole second base, advanced to third on a sacrifice fly and nearly scored a run on an infield single, but an Orioles challenge overturned a call for the third out. De La Cruz once again showed he's past the hamstring injury that forced him to miss three weeks; the stolen base was his third in two contests, and he advanced to third on a flyout to left field.

Running again De La Cruz went 1-for-3 with two walks and two stolen bases in Friday's 3-0 loss to Baltimore.

Impact De La Cruz continued to put a three-week absence due to a hamstring injury behind him, hitting safely in a sixth consecutive game (8-for-25). More promising, however, are the two steals, his first since being activated off the injured list June 23. He's up to 12 stolen bases through 68 games.

2026 MLB Trade Deadline Primer: Who's Buying, Selling ... And Landing Tarik Skubal?

Logs two hits in loss De La Cruz batted leadoff and went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Wednesday's 7-2 loss to Milwaukee.

Impact Fresh off the injured list a week ago, De La Cruz endured a four-game stretch in which he had one hit in 14 at-bats but has turned that around. He's hit in three straight since, going 4-for-13 with a home run, a double, two RBI and three runs scored. De La Cruz has served as the leadoff hitter the last four games since Blake Dunn (elbow) landed on the injured list.

Crushes homer in loss De La Cruz went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Monday's 5-3 loss to Milwaukee.

Impact After twisting his ankle Sunday, De La Cruz slotted in as the designated hitter Monday and laced a two-run homer off Robert Gasser to left-center field in the fifth inning. It marked the switch hitter's first homer since returning June 23 from a right hamstring strain, with De La Cruz going just 3-for-23 (.130) across six games since re-entering the lineup. In total, the 24-year-old is slashing .267/.337/.486 with 13 homers, 40 RBI, 43 runs and 10 stolen bases across 64 appearances this season.

Ortiz homer gives Brewers 5-3 comeback win over Reds

In lineup at DH on Monday De La Cruz (ankle) will start at designated hitter and bat leadoff in Monday's game against the Brewers.

Impact De La Cruz appeared to twist an ankle while running out of the batter's box during a fifth-inning plate appearance in Sunday's 9-4 loss to the Pirates, though he was able to stay in the game after being checked out by a trainer. Manager Terry Francona indicated after the game that De La Cruz's availability for the start of the Reds' four-game series in Milwaukee was in some question, but the 24-year-old apparently made enough progress overnight for the club to feel comfortable with including him in the lineup Monday. De La Cruz will still get a day off from playing defense in an effort to limit the strain on his ankle, clearing the way for Matt McLain to pick up a start at shortstop.

Impact After the game, manager Terry Francona said that they'd re-evaluate De La Cruz on Monday. Ofter with ankle sprains, the day after is critical. The Reds continue their road trip with a big four-game series in Milwaukee on Monday.

Impact De La Cruz moved from second in the order to leadoff, as Blake Dunn (elbow) was held out Saturday. Dunn's condition has not yet been determined, so De La Cruz could remain in the leadoff spot until Dunn is ready to return. In four games back from the injured list, De La Cruz went 1-for-14 with three walks, one RBI and one run scored.
