PITTSBURGH (93.7 The Fan) – Oneil Cruz said he was surprised when told Sunday he would be moving from shortstop to center field. He said he had worked so hard and was disappointed. But by Tuesday afternoon he was fielding balls in center and trying to make the best of it.

“I love that so much,” Shelton said. “I love that he said that. It’s good that he said that. Tarik needs to look at him and check off some boxes and see where he’s at. Just get him a little bit of reps out there before we actually do it. No, really don’t have a timeline. Don’t expect it will be tomorrow, but hopefully sooner than later.”
