Cubs INF Bote goes on IL after he steps on ball during BP

The Chicago Cubs have placed infielder David Bote on the 10-day injured list after he sprained his right ankle when he stepped on a ball during batting practice

AUGUST 28, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Goes on IL The Cubs placed Bote (ankle) on the 10-day injured list Saturday, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

Impact Bote suffered a right ankle sprain in a bizarre accident Friday during batting practice and it will sideline him through the first week of September, if not longer. While manager David Ross said Saturday that the second baseman's sprain is serious, the injury isn't expected to sideline him for the remainder of the season, Bastian reports. He was in a cold stretch before the injury, hitting .194 with one extra-base hit in his last 10 games.

Not starting Saturday Bote (ankle) is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the White Sox.

Impact Bote received a negative X-ray result Friday on his sprained right ankle, but apparently he's not ready to return to the lineup. The infielder should still be considered day-to-day, and it's unclear whether he'll be available off the bench Saturday. Matt Duffy is playing second base and batting fifth.

Belts eighth homer Bote went 3-for-7 with a solo home run and two total runs scored across both games of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Rockies.

Impact Bote put the Cubs on the board in Game 1 of the twin bill with a second-inning solo homer. He has hit eight long balls this season, surpassing last season's total by one -- though he has needed over 100 more at-bats to do so. Bote is slashing a paltry .200/.228/.320 with a 3:20 BB:K through 22 games in August.

Goes deep Friday Bote went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's loss to the Marlins.

Impact Bote connected for his seventh home run of the season, joining three other Chicago players who went deep, though the Cubs fell 14-10. With stalwarts Kris Bryant, Javier Baez and Anthony Rizzo no longer in the fold, Bote should continue seeing regular playing time the rest of the way, particularly while Nico Hoerner (oblique) is out.
