Steals base Saturday Cruz went 2-for-3 with a double, a hit by pitch a steal, an RBI and a run scored in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Tigers.

Impact Cruz doubled and scored in the first inning and then later singled home a run in the fifth. He reached for a third time in extra innings after being hit by a pitch and eventually stole second for his third stolen bag of the year. Age continues to be just a number for Cruz. The 40-year-old is slashing .305/.382/.548 with 18 homers, 47 RBI, 42 runs scored and a 33:58 BB:K over 322 plate appearances. Cruz is playing on a one-year contract and could certainly be a trade candidate for contending teams as the trade deadline gets closer.

Returns to lineup Cruz (neck) is batting third as the designated hitter Tuesday against the White Sox.

Impact A cough-induced neck injury kept Cruz on the bench Sunday and Monday, but he returns to face lefty Carlos Rodon, against whom he's a career 4-for-12. The 41-year-old visited a doctor Monday, though it's unclear whether that was to address his neck stiffness or the persisting cough that caused it. Cruz has hit .347 with four homers and 11 RBI in his last 13 games.

Neck injury caused by cough Cruz (neck) visited a doctor Monday to check out a persisting cough, which was responsible for his current neck injury, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Manager Rocco Baldelli said a violent cough caused Cruz's neck injury, which prevented him from even turning his head. The Twins' skipper added that Cruz has been dealing with the cough for weeks. It's unclear at this time how long the neck injury, and the cough for that matter, might keep the 41-year-old out of action.
