The fear that ran through Chicago Cubs nation can now subside a bit as the MRI results for Jason Heyward show just a contusion near his ribs. But with that news, he still will miss 3-5 days. Matt Szczur’s rehab was cut short as he was recalled and Neil Ramirez was designated for assignment.
Ramirez was out of options and was a late add to the roster coming out of camp. After so many shoulder issues the Cubs hoped he would regain some of his velocity. Even then, his stuff can be downright nasty but he’s struggled to make his way this season appearing in just eight games.
