Gordon Wittenmyer of NBC Sports Chicago reports that the Chicago Cubs will shut down outfielder Jason Heyward for the rest of the year. Heyward’s been dealing with a concussion for some weeks now and was even sent for further evaluations this week.
Heyward saw a specialist in Pittsburgh today for concussion symptoms.
And he’s officially shut down for final week of season.
It’ll be interesting to gauge how Cubs fans view his time in Chicago. After all, he was part of Chicago’s team that won the World Series in his first season with the club in 2016.
