Turner should be out of […]

Kris Bryant Out Of Lineup Sunday With Sore Shoulder

Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant (shoulder) is out of the lineup Sunday for the second day in a row with left shoulder soreness, per Chicago Sun Times' Gordon Wittenmyer.

Justin Turner Continues To Disappoint Saturday

Hanley Ramirez Reportedly Part of Federal Drug Investigation
