The Cubs scratched Kyle Schwarber from Wednesday’s lineup with right rib soreness and can only hope this isn’t a serious injury for their hard-charging rookie.
Schwarber will get an MRI as a precaution after the outfielder/catcher felt something in the batting cage while warming up for a game against the Cincinnati Reds at Wrigley Field.

The Cubs won’t know until they get the MRI results, but the hope is that this break combined with Thursday’s off-day will help get Schwarber ready for this weekend’s series against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
