The Chicago Cubs lifted Ben Zobrist from Friday's game against the Miami Marlins after he was struck in the foot by a pitch in the seventh inning.

He was later diagnosed with a bruise on his left ankle, according to the Chicago Tribune's Mark Gonzales, which will likely keep him out of Saturday's game.

Zobrist initially stayed in the game, but he was taken out in the defensive half of the inning.

Kris Bryant moved to third base, Javier Baez moved to second, and David Ross came into the game at catcher.

Prior to exiting, Zobrist was 1-for-3 with a run scored and a strikeout.
