Cubs pondering World Series return for slugger Schwarber

CHICAGO (AP) — Can Kyle Schwarber return for the Chicago Cubs in the World Series? Stay tuned.

Schwarber, who missed most of the season after major left knee surgery, is working out in Arizona and the Cubs says he could be on the roster for Game 1 in Cleveland on Tuesday night.

The 23-year-old Schwarber went 0 for 3 with a walk while serving as the DH for the Solar Sox on Saturday night in the Arizona Fall League. He watched the Cubs’ clinching 5-0 victory over the Dodgers on a tablet in the dugout between at-bats, and then was soaked by a couple of his teammates after the game.

There were no games in the Arizona Fall League on Sunday, and a spokesman for the Cubs says it was a scheduled off day anyway for Schwarber. 

There was no word on the plan for the slugger for Mesa’s game against the Surprise Saguaros Monday afternoon.
