Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant was removed from Tuesday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates after he suffered a left wrist contusion when he was hit by a pitch, per Carrie Muskat of MLB.com.
This is not the first setback for Bryant this season after he missed significant time with a shoulder injury in the summer. He entered Tuesday's contest slashing .277/.375/.460 with 12 home runs and 49 RBI this season, his fourth in the league.
Bryant has known nothing but success since he entered the major leagues, winning the 2015 National League Rookie of the Year and the 2016 National League MVP before helping the Cubs break a 108-year curse with the 2016 World Series title.
