PHOENIX -- Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras will be out about a month after pulling his hamstring in a game on Wednesday, according to the team.
The Cubs called the injury a 'moderate' strain, which is typically a 4-6 week injury. The Cubs will re-evaluate Contreras in about 2 weeks, once he is deemed pain free.
The news correlates with what Contreras was telling teammates and others after the injury, believing he escaped the worst. Contreras, 25, pulled up lame a few feet from first base after hitting a grounder to third base in the eighth inning of the Cubs 3-1 loss to the San Francisco Giants.
