Elly De La Cruz injury scare vs. Cubs leaves Reds with major questions

Elly De La Cruz left Sunday's game against the Cubs in the seventh inning with left quad tightness, an unusual move for the Reds shortstop who typically stays through the final out. De La Cruz was 2-for-4 with a run scored before his exit and had legged out an infield single earlier in the game, similar to the play that caused a hamstring injury costing him three weeks earlier this season. If De La Cruz requires significant time off, the Reds can deploy Matt McLain and Edwin Arroyo at shortstop while their star recovers. Manager Terry Francona is expected to provide more details about the injury's severity soon.
