He comes to the big leagues on a hot streak, having recorded a hit in 14 of his last 15 games with the Louisville Bats.
In his minor league career, De La Cruz has compiled a .298 average with 49 home runs in 263 games.
De La Cruz is expected to be available for Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
