The Cubs made it clear Tuesday that Craig Kimbrel would be out longer than the minimum 10 days on the injured list, but his time on the shelf could stretch deep into next week. He has “responded well” to early activity that included playing catch Tuesday and said Wednesday that he was feeling good ahead of another light throwing session, so take that for what it’s worth.
Kimbrel might be out deep into next week. Russell out until Cubs return home, Zobrist might be available tonight in PH role.

He hasn’t progressed to throwing from the mound yet, but that could change if he continues to feel good in recovery.
