Cubs' Kyle Schwarber Carted Off Field, Suffers Sprained Ankle

(CBS) Cubs left fielder Kyle Schwarber was carted off the field with a sprained left ankle in the bottom of second inning of Thursday's road contest against the Diamondbacks after colliding with center field Dexter Fowler.

The initial X-rays were negative, and Schwarber will have an MRI on Friday, the team announced. At that point, more should be known about his timetable for a return.

On a scary play, Schwarber tried to make a catch on Jean Segura's long drive into the gap but couldn't get there. In the process, he was clipped low by Fowler, and Segura got an inside-the-park homer.

Schwarber stayed down on the ground for a few minutes while being tended to by trainers as manager Joe Maddon and teammates gathered around.

Regular third baseman Kris Bryant moved to left field, and Tommy La Stella took over at third.
