Here’s a recap of Thursday’s winter league action for members of the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Dominican Republic
Oneil Cruz went 2-for-3 with two singles, a run scored and his fourth stolen base. He left the game for a pinch-hitter in the seventh, with one source saying it was just as a precaution, without explanation. The game was 3-0 at the time, so it wasn’t a situation where you would clear off your bench to finish a game. We’ll check for updates. Cruz is hitting .250 with a .792 OPS in 12 games.
Rodolfo Castro went 0-for-4 for the second straight day.
