Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Franklin Gutierrez lasted all of three outs in Sunday’s series finale against the Chicago Cubs. He was removed due to illness, as relayed by Alanna Rizzo on the Spectrum SportsNet LA broadcast.
There was some though Gutierrez may have suffered an injury on Kris Bryant’s flyball into shallow left field. It was the Cubs’ second broken-bat hit on as many pitches from Clayton Kershaw in the game. Gutierrez was pinch-hit for by Yasiel Puig, who remained in the game in right field, moving Brett Eibner to left.
The start was Gutierrez’s 10th of the season and first since May 19.
