The Pittsburgh Pirates have activated Oneil Cruz from the 60-day injured list, with Ronny Simon optioned to Triple-A to make room. Cruz will return as the team’s center fielder, moving Jake Mangum to a corner outfield position. He was injured on June 6 while sliding into home plate, resulting in a fractured left hand that necessitated a longer recovery period. After over two months of rehabilitation, Cruz is now fully recovered from his metacarpal fractures.
