Cubs slugger Kyle Schwarber only managed five plate appearances in the regular season before tearing his ACL on an outfield collision on April 7. He's been rehabbing throughout the season and now, per the Chicago Tribune and multiple reports, Schwarber will start Saturday night for the Mesa Solar Sox of the Arizona Fall League.

Did you eyes get a little wider with your interest heavily piqued? Same here.

If the Cubs advance to the World Series, which is obviously still a big "if," Schwarber would be eligible to be on the roster.
