Cubs' Kyle Schwarber: Not ruled out to play field in Game 3

Manager Joe Maddon indicated after Game 2 that Schwarber's availability for left field in Game 3 will be determined by team doctors, but didn't rule it out as a possibility, Adam Kilgore of the Washington Post reports.

Analysis:

Schwarber has served as the team's designated hitter during the first two games of the series, but that position is eliminated as the series shifts to Chicago. It's unclear how the Cubs would make room for him in the lineup, but it could result in Jason Heyward returning to the bench. More on his status should be determined closer to Game 3.
