Nelson Cruz Out Wednesday, Needs Surgery
2 years agoWashington Nationals designated hitter Nelson Cruz (eye) will miss the season finale on Wednesday against the New York Mets and is scheduled for surgery on his left eye at the end of October. Cruz has been dealing with inflammation in the inner corner of his eye, and the procedure will remove extra skin blocking his vision. He expects to resume baseball activities in six to eight weeks. "Vision is everything for hitters. But the good thing is, it can be fixed," Cruz said. The 42-year-old hasn't played since Sept. 13 and only hit .234 with 10 home runs in 2022, but he's adamant that he isn't done playing and wants to return in 2023, likely with a different organization.
