De La Cruz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.
De La Cruz has moved into a reserve role in the aftermath of Monday's trade deadline. With the Phillies bringing aboard Luis Arraez and installing him as their everyday second baseman, Bryce Harper has settled into an everyday role in right field as part of a domino effect that has also resulted in Bryson Stott and Alec Bohm changing positions. De La Cruz will hit the bench Sunday for the fifth time in six games.
