Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Oneil Cruz fractured his left ankle while sliding into home plate against the Chicago White Sox on Sunday.
After the game, Pirates manager Derek Shelton told reporters that Cruz sustained a fractured ankle. A long-term prognosis wasn't immediately available, but the injury is a tough blow for a young player coming off a promising rookie season.
Cruz, 24, slashed .233/.285/.450 with 17 home runs, 54 RBI and 10 stolen bases in 87 games last season. He finished sixth in NL Rookie of the Year voting and earned a regular spot in the Pirates lineup. He was off to a strong start this season, slashing .267/.378/.400 with a home run, four RBI and two stolen bases in eight starts before Sunday.
The Pirates were 6-3 after Sunday's win, good for second place in the NL Central behind the 7-2 Milwaukee Brewers.
