Cubs' Ben Zobrist: Hindered by back soreness
Zobrist is not in the Cubs' lineup Saturday against the Reds because he is dealing with back soreness, Carrie Muskat of MLB.com reports.
Analysis:
It will be the third consecutive missed start for Zobrist, but this is the first report of any type of injury. Consider the veteran day-to-day for now and look for Albert Almora, who is slashing .333/.400/.519, to see continued playing time in the Cubs' outfield.
