Injury Updates on Oneil Cruz, Nick Gonzales and Henry Davis

Published:

Todd Tomczyk, the Pittsburgh Pirates Director of Sports Medicine, gave some updates to the local media involving the top hitting prospects in the system.

Henry Davis has resumed all baseball activities and should be headed to Pirate City for some rehab work before returning to Altoona.

Oneil Cruz is out with a mild ankle sprain and his return date is unknown at this time, but it’s not expected to be long. He wasn’t put on the injured list yet, so that could be a good sign, though it’s possible to backdate the IL trip three days if he isn’t going to return this week. The Indianapolis bench yesterday had two catchers and that’s it for available players.

Nick Gonzales is day-to-day with heel discomfort. He got hurt running down to first base yesterday.

Quinn Priester is throwing live BP and he’s expected to start throwing games soon. It sounds like it’s possible that Davis could catch Priester in the FCL, judging by the timing of each.

There was also news on big league players. Daniel Vogelbach is doing running, Yoshi Tsutsugo is not yet.

John started working at Pirates Prospects in 2009, but his connection to the Pittsburgh Pirates started exactly 100 years earlier when Dots Miller debuted for the 1909 World Series champions. John was born in Kearny, NJ, two blocks from the house where Dots Miller grew up. From that hometown hero connection came a love of Pirates history, as well as the sport of baseball. When he didn't make it as a lefty pitcher with an 80+ MPH fastball and a slider that needed work, John turned to covering the game, eventually focusing in on the prospects side, where his interest was pushed by the big league team being below .500 for so long. John has covered the minors in some form since the 2002 season, and leads the draft and international coverage on Pirates Prospects. He writes daily on Pittsburgh Baseball History, when he's not covering the entire system daily throughout the entire year on Pirates Prospects.
