According to Jeff Wilson, Nelson Cruz will be placed on the 15 day disabled list prior to tonight’s game against the Tampa Bay Rays. Joaquin Arias will be activated from the disabled list to take Cruz’s spot on the active roster.
This is Cruz’s third trip to the disabled list because of the hamstring injury. He’s batting .320/.381/.587 with 16 HR in 77 games for the Rangers so far in 2010.
