Steve Cishek Won't Be Out Long
5 years agoChicago Cubs relief pitcher Steve Cishek (knee) thinks he'll only miss one or two games after he was carted off the field before the game on Wednesday after he was hit by a ball during batting practice while playing catch. He was diagnosed with a deep bruise inside his right knee. Cishek has a 3.21 ERA and six saves in 29 appearances for the Cubs this year. He had some short-term fantasy value in deeper leagues when Pedro Strop was on the injured list, but he'll mostly pitch in a setup role the rest of the season, especially with closer Craig Kimbrel expected to make his season debut later this month.
