Turns out, Elly De La Cruz played through a partially torn quad last season—no wonder his performance dipped after the All-Star break! Reds manager Terry Francona just admitted he should’ve given Elly some rest, something fans had been calling for all along. Instead, Elly powered through all 162 games, but his stats took a big hit. Next season, expect to see him get a few days off as a designated hitter to keep him fresh. Do you think giving stars like Elly more rest is the key to a stronger finish? How much should managers listen to fans on these decisions? #Sports #Baseball #Reds
