Pirates All-Star Shortstop Oneil Cruz Recovering on Schedule, Eyes Late Summer Return

Oneil Cruz is recovering from a broken ankle he sustained in April during a game against the Chicago White Sox.
His recovery is on track, and he could return to the Pirates sometime late this summer.
The Pirates have remained in contention in the NL Central despite Cruz's absence.
Several players have filled in for Cruz at shortstop, but none possess his unique mix of size, power, and speed.
Cruz believes he will come back stronger than before and is not trying to force his return.
