Elly De La Cruz has played through unimaginable grief following the passing of his older sister, Genelis, Saturday after a long health issue. The Reds star decided to play Sunday and is playing in Cincinnati's series against the Milwaukee Brewers which began Monday.
According to a report from MLB.com, Reds manager Terry Francona said Monday the plan is for De La Cruz to play through the end of the three-game series, then return to the Dominican Republic to be with family and mourn his sister's death.
