Mandatory Credit: Aaron Doster-Imagn Images The Cincinnati Reds placed two-time All-Star shortstop Elly De La Cruz on the 10-day injured list Monday with a right hamstring strain.
De La Cruz, 24, exited in the fifth inning of Sunday's win against Atlanta after feeling tightness in the hamstring while running to first base.
This is the first IL stint of his four-year major league career and ends his streak of 276 consecutive games played.
De La Cruz is batting .280 with 12 homers, 37 RBIs and 10 stolen bases in 58 games this season. He is a career .258 hitter with 72 home runs, 243 RBIs and 149 steals in 478 games with the Reds.
Cincinnati called up highly regarded infielder Edwin Arroyo from Triple-A Louisville in a corresponding move. Arroyo is the Reds' No. 3 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, and is batting .323 with 11 homers and 34 RBIs in 53 games this season at Louisville. He has yet to make his major league debut.
The Reds also designated right-hander Yunior Marte for assignment and selected the contract of left-hander Brandon Leibrandt from Louisville.
