PHILADELPHIA – The Cubs placed outfielder Jason Heyward on the 7-day concussion injured list before Tuesday’s game against the Phillies. Heyward was injured in Sunday’s series finale against the Giants, taking a knee from shortstop Brandon Crawford while sliding into third base. He would receive medical attention from the team’s training staff before leaving the game.
Heyward has been dealing with several symptoms since Sunday. Manager David Ross dealt with concussions throughout his career and knows how serious they can be for a player.
“He’s banged up,” Ross said before the game. “I think it’s concerning and you want to look, I mean, it’s a sensitive topic for me.
