De La Cruz sprained his ankle trying to get out of the batter's box in Sunday's loss to the Pirates, but he stayed in the game. The team worked on the ankle during the rain delay, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.
After the game, manager Terry Francona said the team will re-evaluate De La Cruz on Monday. Often with ankle sprains, the day after is critical. The Reds continue their road trip with a big four-game series in Milwaukee on Monday.
