In case you’ve been spending the Sunday out with your friends and family, Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo suffered a nasty-looking right ankle injury in the the third inning on Sunday.
That’s an ugly injury, but preliminary x-rays taken at the stadium did not show any broken bones. An MRI is looming on Monday, but it seems impossible that Rizzo won’t miss time with this injury. It would not be a surprise if this injury rules Rizzo out for the rest of the season and even the playoffs.
