What happened to Oneil Cruz? Live injury updates for Pirates vs. Reds 9/24/25

In the bottom of the eighth inning of Wednesday’s game against the Cincinnati Reds, Oneil Cruz tracked a well-hit ball off the bat of Noelvi Marte to straight away center. As he attempted to catch the ball, Cruz jumped and planted his left foot halfway up the wall. He immediately crumpled down onto the warning track.

He was removed due to a left ankle injury.

Prior to exiting, Cruz went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts. Jack Suwinski was the substitute.

The Pirates are 68-89 with four regular season games left in the season. It’s likely that Cruz is done for the season.

Stan joined DraftKings in December of 2020. It was a glorious time, except for that whole COVID thing, when we got Madden streams and boisterous bat flips from the KBO. I was brought on board to bring some West Coast flavor. I especially love hoops, and most of my content is in that arena. When I walk along the beach, strumming my guitar, the beat that I hear is not one of crashing waves. No, it is the beat of the ball bouncing off the hardwood with highs provided by the squeaks of the sneakers. Ball is life.
