Outfielder Michael Hermosillo has been out of the Cubs lineup for a few days while nursing a left forearm injury. Hermosillo isn’t sure where the injury occurred according to interim manager Andy Green, but the team is being cautious.
The 26-year-old outfielder is hitting .194/.237/.500 with two doubles, three homers and seven RBIs since being recalled from Triple-A Iowa on Aug. 17.
“He’s had a little bit of a banged up forearm the last few days,” Green said before the game. “We’re checking him day-by-day at this point in time. ... I think Rossy, after talking to the trainer’s yesterday, felt it best to leave him out of the lineup today and see how he continues to progress.
