Cincinnati Reds shortstop Elly De La Cruz was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday with a right hamstring strain. The injury ends his streak of 276 consecutive games played.
An MRI confirmed the strain, which is expected to sideline the two-time All-Star for two to four weeks. Manager Terry Francona said the injury is between a Grade 1 and 2 strain and noted that De La Cruz received treatment similar to a PRP injection for soft tissue issues.
The Cincinnati Reds defeated the Atlanta Braves 6-4 on Sunday to halt a three-game losing streak. Shortstop Elly De La Cruz left the game in the fifth inning with right hamstring tightness. An MRI is scheduled for Monday morning.
