WASHINGTON -- The Chicago Cubs will be without All-Star Kris Bryant when they finish a four-game series against the Washington Nationals on Thursday.
Bryant left the game in the fifth inning Wednesday after he rolled his ankle on third base after he made a catch on a foul pop.
Bryant suffered a right ankle sprain. X-rays were negative, according to a team spokesman. Manager Joe Maddon said Bryant will stay off his feet for a few days.
"I was watching closely. It was more painful than you would think," Maddon said.
