De La Cruz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

Aug 9Rotowire

De La Cruz has moved into a reserve role in the aftermath of the trade deadline. With the Phillies bringing aboard Luis Arraez and installing him as their everyday second baseman, Bryce Harper has become the right fielder as part of a domino effect that has also resulted in Bryson Stott and Alec Bohm changing positions. De La Cruz will hit the bench Sunday for the fifth time in six games.

De La Cruz will start in right field and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Marlins, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Jul 29Rotowire

De La Cruz will be included in the lineup over the left-handed-hitting Gabriel Rincones for the second straight game while the Marlins send another right-handed starter (Ryan Gusto) to the bump. Initially ticketed for a short-side platoon role when he was called up from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday, De La Cruz may have at least temporarily earned himself a look as a full-time player after getting off to a hot start to his tenure in Philadelphia. He's recorded at least one hit in each of his first five games with the club, going 8-for-11 with a solo home run, a double and an additional run scored.

The Phillies recalled De La Cruz from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Jul 21Rotowire

The 29-year-old exercised the opt-out in his minor-league contract with the Phillies but quickly re-signed and was added to the 40-man roster in early July, and he'll now get his first look in the majors this season. De La Cruz has 12 homers with an .806 OPS in 84 games with the IronPigs this year, but he hasn't seen significant MLB action since he posted a .654 OPS across 149 games between Pittsburgh and Miami in 2024.

The Phillies will recall De La Cruz from Triple-A Lehigh Valley prior to Tuesday's game against the Dodgers, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Jul 20Rotowire

The Phillies are tentatively scheduled to face three left-handed starting pitchers this week, offering an opportunity for the club to throw the right-handed-swinging De La Cruz into the mix. De La Cruz was added to the 40-man roster earlier this month but has spent the entire season at Lehigh Valley, where he's slashed .269/.358/.448 with 12 home runs and a 44:74 BB:K.

The Phillies signed De La Cruz to a major-league contract Sunday and optioned him to Triple-A Lehigh Valley, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Jul 5Rotowire

The veteran outfielder recently exercised the opt-out in his minor-league contract with the Phillies, but he's now back in the organization as a member of the 40-man roster. De La Cruz has a .254/.344/.429 slash line with 12 homers in 75 games for Lehigh Valley this year and could soon get a look in the big leagues, with Gabriel Rincones struggling to a .553 OPS in his first taste of the majors.
