Pittsburgh Pirates center fielder Oneil Cruz, known more for delivering hard-hit homers than producing them in quantity, was added Tuesday to next week’s Home Run Derby in Atlanta.

He is the fifth player named as a participant in Monday’s event at Truist Park, which hosts the All-Star Game a night later. Also competing are Atlanta’s Ronald Acuña Jr., Minnesota’s Byron Buxton, Seattle’s Cal Raleigh and Washington’s James Wood.

Cruz, 26, slugged his 16th home run of the season Tuesday night at Kansas City. He hit a career-best 21 last season.

When the 6-foot-7 Cruz belts a homer, he often hits it hard. On May 25 against visiting Milwaukee, he hit a ball measured at 122.9 mph into the Allegheny River, the highest exit velocity on a home run since Statcast began tracking in 2015.

He also showed off his arm Sunday with a 105.2 mph throw to nail Seattle’s J.P. Crawford at the plate. That was the second-hardest thrown ball to produce an outfield assist recorded by Statcast.

METS’ MARTE ON IL

The New York Mets placed Starling Marte on the 10-day injured list with a bruised right knee and activated Jesse Winker, who missed two months with an oblique injury.

Marte and Winker play the outfield, but have been used primarily as the Mets’ designated hitter.

Marte had seven hits in his last three games, including three on Sunday as the starting left fielder against the Yankees. The 36-year-old is batting .270 with four homers and 20 RBIs in 58 games.

The Mets hope to have Marte back after the All-Star break.

Winker, activated from the 60-day injured list, last played on May 4 before starting at DH on Tuesday night at Baltimore. He is batting .232 with one home run and 10 RBIs in 25 games.
