The last thing the struggling Chicago Cubs need is catcher Willson Contreras sidelined by an injury.
Contreras was not in the lineup for Monday’s series-opening 7-4 victory against the Cincinnati Reds, still considered day to day while nursing a tight right hamstring. However, manager David Ross was confident Contreras won’t go on the 10-day injured list.
“We’ll give him a couple of days to rest up, but, yeah, he’s good,” Ross said. “Status quo.”
