CHICAGO -- The Chicago Cubs placed infielder David Bote on the 10-day injured list Saturday after he sprained his right ankle when he stepped on a ball during batting practice.
Bote got hurt before Friday's 17-13 loss to the White Sox. The ball was obscured by some white lettering in foul territory at Guaranteed Rate Field.
The move with Bote was made retroactive to Thursday.
Manager David Ross said the same thing happened to him during his playing career.
"It messed my ankle pretty good, and he was the same," Ross said.
