Seeking infield depth, the Milwaukee Brewers today claimed utility infielder Luis Cruz off waivers from the Pittsburgh Pirates as baseball’s winter meetings started in Indianapolis. Cruz, 25, batted .214 with two RBIs in 27 games with the Pirates last season. He started 14 games at shortstop and four at second base. He started the season with Pittsburgh, was sent down to Class AAA Indianapolis three weeks later, then was recalled on July 10 and finished the season with the Pirates. He batted .253 with three home runs and 23 RBIs in 66 games at Indianapolis. Milwaukee has 38 players on its 40-man roster. The Brewers also announced that right-handed reliever Mark DiFelice had surgery last week to repair partial tears of the labrum and rotator cuff in his throwing shoulder. DiFelice told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that he likely will miss the 2010 season. He was 4-1 with a 3.66 earned-run average in 59 games before going on the disabled list in September. http://0rz.tw/wWpEt --
