Update On Kyle Schwarber

There has been some speculation on if Kyle Schwarber would play left field once the Chicago Cubs returned home on Friday. Well, there’s some news on that front.

Wait, that’s not the one. It’d be cool if he actually fielded though…

Schwarber did not take fly balls . He did look good standing in left

Had Schwarber been medically cleared he would have shagged fly balls during today’s practice. This doesn’t exactly rule him out from fielding a position in game four or five – but without time to see what he is capable of it is highly unlikely.

UPDATE: THEO EPSTEIN HAS CONFIRMED, SCHWARBER HAS NOT BEEN CLEARED TO PLAY
