Willson Contreras - Injury not serious Contreras' knee sprain isn't considered a serious one, Paul Sullivan of the Chicago Tribune reports. Impact The injury was bad enough to send him to the injured list, but the Cubs called that move precautionary. The team has little reason to risk any further injury for Contreras, who's one of the team's only remaining regulars following a major sell-off at the deadline. The team now sits 14 games out of a playoff spot and has very little to play for down the stretch, so the last thing they'll want to do is risk long-term injury to one of their best remaining players.
