Good News on Kris Bryant’s Ankle: Fielding, BP Dingers, Maybe Available Tonight
Kris Bryant’s ankle must indeed be feeling a whole lot better after a day of rest, because he was right back out there on the field before tonight’s game testing things out.
And the test must have felt just fine.
Check out some of the results:
Bryant is taking grounders at 3B. All good signs. #Cubs

#Cubs Bryant just hit a HR in BP off the glass of the CF batter's eye. That's really good news

Bryant is not in the starting lineup tonight, but it sounds like he could be available off of the bench if needed, and if he’s still feeling good. That’s awesome, and bodes well for a possible return this weekend.
