Cubs’ Jason Heyward out 3-5 games with side bruise
Chicago Cubs right fielder Jason Heyward will miss three to five games with a bruise on his right side near his ribs.
The injury happened in the bottom of the first inning in Friday’s 8-1 Cubs victory over the Giants at AT&T Park.
Heyward crashed into a padded section of the wall to the left of the 421-foot sign with an outstanding catch that robbed Giants leadoff man Denard Span of extra bases on the third pitch he saw from Jake Arrieta.
The Cubs also activated outfielder Matt Szczur (right hamstring) off the 15-day disabled list where he’s been since May 3.
