Kris Bryant leaves Cubs' game following collision
Chicago Cubs third baseman/outfielder Kris Bryant was pulled from Monday's game after an outfield collision with center fielder Albert Almora Jr.
What It Means:
Despite the collision, Bryant still managed to make the catch and remained in the game to finish the top of the fifth inning. However, Matt Szczur pinch-hit for Bryant in the bottom frame of the inning. The Cubs are calling the injury a contusion and it doesn't look to be serious. He can be considered as day-to-day. Before leaving the game, Bryant hit his 24th home run of the season, which currently ties him for the most in baseball.
Bryant is having an outstanding season, slashing .279/.373/.575 with a .397 wOBA in 357 plate appearances. His 3.00 nERD is 11th best and his 4.1 fWAR is tied for fourth-best. Our models project him to hit .270/.358/.489 with 14 home runs and a .365 wOBA over the remaining course of the season.
