After getting off to a slow start, Kris Bryant‘s 2020 season was more or less doomed on August 12 when he launched a big home run in the top of the 6th in a win over Cleveland. Initially viewed as a sign that his awkward landing on a diving attempt in left field the previous inning wasn’t as bad as it looked, the injuries he suffered were actually far worse than he or the Cubs let on.
As Cubs Insider learned a few days after the incident — and a few days prior to being placed on the IL — Bryant had suffered an impact fracture in his left wrist and two torn ligaments in his left ring finger.
