After almost four months away, Ben Zobrist returned Sunday to the Cubs.
Zobrist, 38, had been gone to handle a divorce from his wife, Julianna, and tend to his kids. Zobrist is not in the Cubs’ lineup Sunday, and manager Joe Maddon said it was unlikely he’d play in the series finale with the Brewers.
“I’m excited to be back in the clubhouse with the guys,” Zobrist said. “I got to go out on the field last night, take a few ground balls and hit BP and stuff. Wrigley Field is a special place. Any time you get a chance to be here, I don’t take it for granted.
