While the St. Louis Cardinals are finally back on the field after more than two weeks of downtime because of a coronavirus outbreak, the Chicago Cubs are also in scramble mode heading into a doubleheader between the teams Monday.
The Cubs not only scratched outfielder Jason Heyward from the starting lineup before Sunday's game with the Milwaukee Brewers, they also put right-hander Tyler Chatwood on the 10-day injured list. Both were diagnosed with midback discomfort.
Chatwood initially was scratched from a start against the Brewers on Friday and was expected to pitch Monday instead. But discomfort increased overnight Saturday, leaving manager David Ross in search of one more starter against the Cardinals.
