CINCINNATI — Cubs manager David Ross said he felt sick making his way across the infield at the ‘‘Field of Dreams’’ site Thursday to check on Willson Contreras.
‘‘I told him I was running out there about to throw up,’’ Ross recalled before the Cubs’ 7-2 victory Saturday against the Reds. ‘‘I thought it was something more serious. Luckily, he’s fine.’’
Contreras ended up staying in the game, and he was catching and batting second Saturday. But the injury looked bad in the immediate aftermath. Contreras fell to the ground and grabbed his left leg after stopping abruptly between second and third on a single by Patrick Wisdom.
