Bad news for the Chicago Cubs, which are competing for wild cards in the National League. Anthony Rizzo, 30, is unlikely to be able to play in the remaining games.
The Chicago Sun Times, a Chicago-based media outlet, reported on the condition of Rizzo's ankle injury on Wednesday.
According to the report, Lizo was diagnosed with right ankle inflammation after magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Earlier in the 16th against the Pittsburgh Pirates, Rezzo broke his right ankle during a bunt pitch defense. Lizo was later backed out of the game.
If the injury came in the middle of the season, it could be insignificant. You can take a rest on the disabled list on Thursday. But now, September.
The Chicago Cubs are in a fierce wild-card race, and already, Javier Barz has escaped due to injury. The departure of Rizo is very bad news.
Before his injury, Rizo had a batting average of 0.289 and a career-high of 26 home runs, 93 RBIs, 88 runs scored and 142 hits in 140 games of the season, and a .404 OPS 0.92 on-base percentage.
Attention is focusing on whether the Chicago Cubs will be able to overcome the wild card competition at a time when they have lost the resort following the Vaj. The Chicago Cubs have 13 games left.
