As if the Cubs‘ dreadful September wasn’t bad enough, Kris Bryant suffered an ankle injury while trying to beat a double-play relay in the third inning of Sunday’s defeat.
The likely cause of this injury was the fact that it was raining steadily throughout the game and that first base was wet. If you pause the video at 0:06 you can see the precise moment where KB’s right foot slipped.
I thought this reminded me of a similar injury to Bryce Harper two years ago.
