According to Kevin Gorman, Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Oneil Cruz underwent surgery last night on his fractured left ankle suffered in Sunday’s game against the Chicago White Sox.
Gorman and other media members are reporting that Cruz could be out 10-12 weeks with the injury, which would put him out at least through mid-June. It’s unclear whether that estimate would be his return to the Pirates, or return to field. He’s going to need rehab games before he returns. The true timeline will be known as he begins to rehab and get into game shape.
