This is not good news.

Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras was injured while running the bases during the third inning of Thursday's Field of Dreams game.

Contreras stopped abruptly while running past second base and appeared to roll his left ankle. The training staff immediately came out alongside manager David Ross and he left the game limping slightly.

He was called out on the play.

Update: Contreras is putting on his shin guards in the dugout and staying in the contest for the bottom of the third inning.
