CHICAGO -- Cubs shortstop Addison Russell went for an MRI on Tuesday on his left middle finger, which he sprained during his second at-bat on Sunday against the Mets.
"It was pretty sore the other day in the dugout," Cubs manager Joe Maddon said on Tuesday.
Maddon, who hosted a charity golf tournament in his hometown of Hazleton, Pa., on Monday's off-day, had checked with Cubs athletic trainer PJ Mainville on Tuesday morning for an update to see if Russell could play that night against the Phillies.
