The MRI results of the Chicago Cubs’ young slugger Kyle Schwarber provided the worst possible news early Friday evening. After colliding with center fielder Dexter Fowler going for a fly ball last night, Schwarber tore both his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and his lateral collateral ligament (LCL) in his left knee.
He will miss the remainder of the 2016 season according to Jon Heyman on Twitter. Schwarber and Fowler collided in the left-center field gap going for a fly ball hit by Diamondbacks’ shortstop Jean Segura.
