Ben Zobrist played his first game Friday after taking three months off from the Cubs. Zobrist began his rehab, expected to take up to a month, playing a minor league game with the Class A South Bend Cubs against the West Michigan Whitecaps.
Zobrist batted second, going 0 for 3 with a walk and a strikeout. He didn’t play the field, he was only a DH.
Zobrist had stepped away from the Cubs in May for personal reasons. While Zobrist hasn’t spoken publicly, we do know he and his wife are currently going through a divorce.
