This is probably the best way to sum up the past four days for Anthony Rizzo:
On Monday, Rizzo’s season looked over. He had rolled his ankle badly in Sunday’s game while fielding a bunt in front of the mound and the prognosis was not good. Rizzo couldn’t put any weight on the ankle and would be confined to a walking boot for the next five to seven days after an MRI revealed a lateral sprain. Cubs president Theo Epstein left the door open for an eventual regular-season return, but no one thought it would be just four days later.
