Ben Zobrist ‘Probably’ Back in Iowa Next Weekend
Ben Zobrist has been easing back into baseball after nearly three months off, taking the weekend warrior route as he spends the week playing the more important role of dad. So between stints with South Bend, Myrtle Beach, and Iowa, he’s returned home to Tennessee to take care of his family.
His next step could actually see him playing with the Tennessee Smokies, who are home for five games starting this Friday. Zobrist skipped Double-A last weekend because the Smokies were only home through Saturday while the I-Cubs were on the other side of the state to play the Memphis Redbirds.
