TORONTO — Catcher Willson Contreras was out of the Cubs’ lineup on Wednesday after leaving the game Tuesday with soreness in his left ankle/foot. He had a limp as he was walking around before the game.
“The main thing is just listening to him,” manager David Ross said before the Cubs’ 7-5 win against the Blue Jays. “He wants to be out there. I don’t think the trainers feel like it’s anything that’s at risk. But you also take into consideration, moving on this turf is sometimes a little bit harder on the joints, and especially when we have some ailment that might pop up.”
