The electrifying Elly De La Cruz takes center stage Friday night with the Reds hosting the Tigers.
Cincinnati's second-year shortstop is thriving in his first full MLB season, showcasing a potent combination of power and speed. De La Cruz leads baseball with 42 stolen bases, while his 15 home runs have already surpassed last year's total.
Coming off a three-game sweep of the Yankees in the Bronx, the upstart Reds are firmly in the mix for one of three NL wild-card spots.

The Tigers find themselves in a similar position in the AL, hoping that a collection of young talent can spur them into a playoff race.
Outfielder Riley Greene, the fifth overall pick in 2019, has come into his own. Greene has already tallied 16 homers after hitting 16 across his first two MLB seasons. His .847 OPS leads all qualified Tigers hitters, and he leads the team with 43 RBIs, as well.
