Schwarber has a fully torn ACL and LCL, in addition to a severe ankle sprain, and is out for the year, ESPN Chicago's Jesse Rogers reports.

Analysis:

The worst-case scenario has been realized, and fantasy owners in single-season leagues can cut ties with Schwarber immediately and try to salvage some production at catcher off the waiver wire or via trade. Chicago will now turn to a combination of Jorge Soler, Matt Szczur and Ben Zobrist in left field, with Soler likely getting the bulk of the starts. Schwarber's work ethic is well-documented, so it is possible his rehab will be complete entering camp next year, but there probably won't be a firm timetable on that until after he undergoes surgery.
