Kris Bryant hits the disable list as Cubs nightmare week continues
Cubs in 60: Duane Underwood Jr.'s MLB debut spoiled by DodgersJuly can't come soon enough for the Cubs.
Kris Bryant was placed on the disabled list Tuesday evening with inflammation in his left shoulder, the latest in a series of unfortunate events for the Cubs to close out June.
Bryant said Sunday in Cincinnati he believes the shoulder injury originated from too many swings in the batting cages over the last few weeks as he's put in extra work to try to climb out of one of the worst slumps of his brief career.
This is the first time Bryant has ever been on the DL. The 26-year-old third baseman hasn't played since Friday, when he went 0-for-4 with 3 strikeouts against the Reds.
