HOUSTON – Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant, who left Sunday’s game after a sixth-inning collision with teammate Jason Heyward while playing right field, remained under evaluation and out of the lineup Monday in Houston.
He was scheduled for a followup exam on his head and neck area Monday with one of the Astros’ doctors after having been cleared after Sunday’s game to travel with the team. He is not in the league’s concussion protocol.
“I would say the best-case scenario would be a day or two,” manager Joe Maddon said.
Heyward, who unlike Bryant did not get hit near the head on the collision, was “pretty sore” Monday, said Maddon, and was out of the lineup.
