The Cubs may be without one of their biggest offensive weapons and clubhouse leaders over the next few weeks.
Kris Bryant hit a double in the first inning of Wednesday’s game against the Braves, and then was determined to make his way to third base. When Tyler Flowers dropped a ball, he had the opportunity, and took full advantage of it.
Unfortunately, he injured a finger on his left hand sliding head-first into the bag.

Hopefully the injury isn’t too serious, as the Cubs will need Bryant in the lineup to overtake the Brewers for the division lead.
