Cubs' Schwarber out for season with torn ACL

Chicago Cubs left fielder Kyle Schwarber has full tears to the ACL and LCL in his left knee and will be out for the rest of the season, the team said Friday.

An MRI revealed the extent of the knee injury for Schwarber, one of several heralded young stars for the World Series-favorite Cubs.

Schwarber also sprained his left ankle in a scary collision with center fielder Dexter Fowler in Thursday night's 14-6 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Fowler made contact with Schwarber's legs as the two chased a line drive from Jean Segura in left-center during the second inning.
