Cruz is out of the lineup Friday against the Blue Jays, Roch Kubatko of MASNsports.com reports. A loss to the Yankees on Thursday took the Orioles out of contention for the top record in the AL, so manager Buck Showalter will go ahead and give many of his regulars another rest day Friday. Cruz turned in a four-hit effort Wednesday, his second of the month, and is now sitting with a .273/.336/.527 batting line and 40 homers for the season.
