The Pittsburgh Pirates head into their series finale vs. the San Francisco Giants at PNC Park without one of their top players in the lineup. Oneil Cruz isn't in the lineup for the Pirates and will come off the bench if he does play against the Giants.

Oneil Cruz delivered one on Friday night at Coors Field. The Pittsburgh Pirates' superstar, in centerfield, chased after a ball that hit off the centerfield fence. The batter had already rounded second when Cruz uncorked a missile toward third base. On the fly, on the money, tag applied, out.

"The Pirates continue to listen to offers for everyone on the team but Paul Skenes and Oneil Cruz." It sounds like righty pitcher Mitch Keller is the best player the Pirates plan to give up. Cruz remains part of the core group in Pittsburgh. Sure, he can frustrate with some inconsistency and some swing-and-miss.

Pirates center fielder Oneil Cruz is one of those players, with reports the franchise had listened to trade offers on him and that the New York Yankees one of the teams interested in him. Cruz, himself, isn't worried about any trade rumors, as there isn't anything he can control and understands that this is part of the game.

San Francisco Giants rallied for a 4-2 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates.
