When Miguel Montero left Saturday’s game against the Chicago White Sox with a thumb injury, several people were wondering if his injury would mean that top prospect Kyle Schwarber would be recalled. Today, we received our answer.
Miguel Montero out w/thumb injury, so @Cubs will call up @kschwarb12 to join team tomorrow in Atlanta. More to come on @mlb.com

With the injury to Montero, chances are very good that Schwarber could be here for the remainder of the 2015 season as reports are Montero could miss up to six weeks, which would bring us into September.
