MIAMI — Catcher Willson Contreras still has hurdles to clear before returning from a lingering sprained left ankle.
“You see the end in sight, and some personalities are like, ‘What’s the point of rushing back?’ And some personalities are like, ‘I’m [ticked off] I’m hurt; I want to finish; I enjoy playing baseball,’ ” manager David Ross said before the Cubs’ 10-3 loss Monday to the Marlins. “I think Willson falls in that second category of, ‘I’m trying to get back, but I can only do so much with my ankle.’ ”
