Yomiuri Giants infielder Luis Cruz, who was deactivated prior to the start of the Central League Climax Series First Stage, practiced with the top team at Tokyo Dome on Monday ahead of the decisive third game against the Yokohama BayStars.
"I feel good," Cruz said. "I'm ready for whenever they need me."
The Giants removed Cruz, in his third year in Japan and first with Yomiuri, from the roster on Oct. 3, for unspecified reasons.
