David Ross says Willson Contreras came out of the game as a precaution. Says trainers are currently working on him and they ll know more tomorrow. #Cubs Russell Dorsey (@Russ Dorsey1) May 1, 2021
This doesn’t sound as bad as it might have when Willson left the game, but he has had hamstring troubles in the past (missed significant time in both 2017 and 2019 as a result), so let’s hope he’s all right.

Anthony Rizzo has a smile on his face in the photo above, and this time it’s not because he had fun striking out Freddie Freeman.
Instead, it’s because he had three hits on the evening and the Cubs put together a 16-hit offense to go with a strong start from Adbert Alzolay and crushed the Braves 9-3, ending a five-game losing streak. The nine runs were two more than the Cubs had scored in the last four games of the streak, and the 16 hits nearly matched the 17 they had in the last four games combined.
