De La Cruz

The Indians just traded De La Cruz to the Rangers last month to make room for Casey Kotchman on the 40-man roster, but they apparently had second thoughts about giving up on him. The 23-year-old left-hander posted a 4.19 ERA and 95/57 K/BB ratio over 86 innings last season at the Double-A level. He was recently sidelined due to left forearm stiffness.

He is considered day-to-day. De La Cruz was acquired from the Indians last month for cash considerations. The 23-year-old left-hander posted a 4.19 ERA and 95/57 K/BB ratio over 86 innings last season at the Double-A level.

De La Cruz was scratched from Thursday’s intrasquad game due to left forearm stiffness, but it’s not considered to be a big deal. The 23-year-old left-hander is a longshot to crack the Opening Day roster.

He was cleared in order to make room for Rick VandenHurk on the 40-man roster. De La Cruz has to be wondering if anybody wants him at this point, as the Rangers acquired him from the Indians last month, but then flipped him right back to Cleveland last week.

The Indians designated De La Cruz for assignment earlier this month to clear a 40-man roster spot for first baseman Casey Kotchman. A 23-year-old lefty, De La Cruz had a 4.19 ERA in 86 innings at Double-A last year.

De La Cruz was designated for assignment by the Tribe in mid-February to clear a 40-man roster spot for first baseman Casey Kotchman. The 23-year-old left-hander posted a decent 4.19 ERA and 95/57 K/BB ratio across 86 innings last season with Double-A Akron.

The 23-year-old left-hander posted a 4.19 ERA and 95/57 K/BB ratio over 86 innings last season at the Double-A level. He seems unlikely to be up with the big club this season.

De La Cruz was re-acquired from the Rangers for cash Thursday after they dealt him just last month. The 23-year-old left-hander posted a 4.19 ERA and 95/57 K/BB ratio over 86 innings last season at the Double-A level and isn’t big league-ready yet.

He was cleared to make room for Casey Kotchman on the 40-man roster. De La Cruz had a 4.19 ERA and 95/57 K/BB ratio over 86 innings with Double-A Akron last season. The 23-year-old left-hander has averaged 8.9 K/9 over six seasons in the minors, but his lack of command is holding him back. His future might be in the bullpen.

De La Cruz was designated for assignment by the Tigers on Monday and passed through waivers without much interest. He’s struggled this year at the Double-A level.
