MILWAUKEE — Cubs left-hander Shota Imanaga stood hunched over with his hands on his knees as he waited for an athletic trainer to run out to him in the bottom of the sixth inning of a game Sunday against the Brewers at American Family Field.
He’d run from the mound to cover first base for a double play attempt when the Brewers’ Christian Yelich hit a ground ball to Cubs first baseman Michael Busch. The Cubs got the out at second, but Yelich beat the throw to first. Imanaga stepped off the bag and grabbed the back of his left leg, grimacing.
