Alexander Canario takes the place of Cruz and will bat sixth in the lineup for the Pirates. This marks Canario's first start for the Pirates since the series opener vs. the New York Mets at PNC Park on June 27, which was also the last time Cruz didn't start. It is also the ninth start and 12th game for Canario in center field.

The Pittsburgh Pirates' star centerfielder proved that in a big way on Sunday. Needing to uncork maybe the most perfect outfield throw in baseball history to cut down a runner at home plate, that's what Cruz did. He unleashed a 105.2 mile per hour laser on one hop to his catcher for a tag out.
