Cubs' Anthony Rizzo blames hotel bed for back issues

The next time the Chicago Cubs are in Cincinnati, first baseman Anthony Rizzo may hit the floor at the team hotel instead of the bed.

Rizzo, who was placed on the 10-day disabled list with back tightness retroactive to Friday, thinks the hotel bed may have played a part in his back issues.

"I think the next time I go [to Cincinnati], I'll sleep on the floor," Rizzo said. "I just have to take care of myself better."

The 28-year-old began experiencing tightness in the area going back to last Monday in Cincinnati.
