Cruz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins after exiting Saturday's 12-4 loss in the top of the eighth inning due to a hip flexor injury, Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Interim manager Don Kelly said that the outfielder is still expected to participate in Monday's Home Run Derby. Jack Suwinski will draw the start Sunday in center field in place of Cruz, who should be ready to return to the Pittsburgh lineup following the All-Star break.
