CHICAGO -- The Cubs' Kris Bryant was pulled from Monday's game against the Reds after he collided with center fielder Albert Almora Jr. in the fifth inning. The Cubs were leading, 8-0, when he departed.
Bryant, who hit his National League-leading 24th home run in the second, started in left field. He was drifting toward a fly ball in the left-center gap by pinch-hitter Tyler Holt when he and Almora crashed into each other. Almora appeared to hit Bryant in the head with his glove.
Bryant caught the ball, and both players tumbled to the ground.
