CHICAGO -- One little doctors appointment for Kyle Schwarber has turned into an intriguing possibility for the Chicago Cubs. Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping .Schwarber is working out in Arizona after major left knee surgery in April, and the Cubs say the injured slugger with the sweet left-handed swing could play when Chicago returns to the World Series for the first time since 1945.The Cubs had ruled Schwarber out for the year after he tore two knee ligaments during an outfield collision. But Schwarbers checkup with Dr. Daniel Cooper on Monday in Dallas cleared the way for the Cubs to take a closer look at the catcher/outfielder in the Arizona Fall League.We got the best possible report. It exceeded any reasonable expectation that we had, president of baseball operations Theo Epstein said Saturday before the Cubs beat the Dodgers 5-0 in Game 6 of the NL Championship Series.We basically got the news at six months that we had hoped to get at seven months, which was Dr. Cooper upon examining him cleared him to run the bases. Kyle called me right away and asked for a chance to get ready. The doctors greenlighted him to start hitting.Schwarbers return would be a big boost for Chicago, which will play at Cleveland in Game 1 on Tuesday night. He hit .333 with a franchise-record five homers in nine playoff games last year, including a drive that reached the top of a Wrigley Field videoboard.Schwarber was hitless in his first three at-bats with a walk as the designated hitter Saturday night for the Mesa Solar Sox. He watched the Cubs face the Dodgers on a tablet in the dugout between at-bats.Schwarber could help at designated hitter while the World Series is in Cleveland.Nobody wants to see a guy as important as Schwarber is to this organization go down again, right-hander Jake Arrieta said. But if hes capable, if hes in a position strength-wise to be able to help us in that situation, obviously that would be huge for our team.Schwarber was activated from the 60-day disabled list Saturday. Left-hander Giovanni Soto was designated for assignment to make room on the 40-man roster.Schwarber tracked 500 balls off a hitting machine on Thursday and Friday before taking at-bats against James Farris, a pitcher in the Arizona Fall League. He also ran the bases on Friday, according to Epstein.Well just continue to evaluate him medically day by day in terms of baseball readiness, Epstein said. We have a lot of business we need to take care of first before theres any relevance to it short term. But long term its a great prognosis for him and were proud of him that hes worked so hard to get to this point.The Cubs selected Schwarber with the fourth overall pick in the 2014 amateur draft out of Indiana University. He rocketed through their system and made his major league debut last June, part of a wave of bright young talent that helped the once-downtrodden franchise blossom into one of baseballs top clubs.The 23-year-old Schwarber hit .246 with 16 homers and 43 RBI in 69 games last year. He stayed around the team even after he got hurt in early April in Arizona, making the most of Wrigleys revamped home clubhouse for his rehab process.He remains a fan favorite, drawing loud cheers every time he is introduced or shown on the videoboard at home.I dont know to what extent we would be able to use him or not, but right now were just trying to explore all the possibilities, manager Joe Maddon said.---Jay Cohen can be reached at http://www.twitter.com/jcohenap Cheap Jerseys . -- Brandon Jennings made the most of his first game with the Detroit Pistons on Sunday night. China Jerseys NFL Cheap .

CHICAGO -- The Chicago Cubs secured their main objective when they clinched the National League Central title last week.But there are still more goals as they proceed through the seasons final 13 games -- including their final six home regular season games this week.That run begins with Mondays opener of a three-game series with the Cincinnati Reds (63-86) and concludes with three against the St. Louis Cardinals this weekend before closing the 2016 campaign with seven road games.You want win 100 games and clinch home field, said Cubs manager Joe Maddon on Sunday. There are still some short term goals that lead to long-term benefits. Yeah, we want all that.But you just do that one day at a time and then however the chips fall then you react to that moment.The Cubs (94-55) send right-hander Jason Hammel (14-9. 3.60 ERA) against Reds righty Tim Adleman (2-4, 4.21 ERA) in Mondays opener.Hammel, who makes his 29th start of the season, is 9-1 with a 1.77 ERA in 13 home starts. Its the second-best home record in baseball (trailing only teammate Kyle Hendricks).In his last outing on Sept. 13 at St. Louis, Hammel allowed a pair of two-run home runs in a 4-2 Cubs loss.Hammel is 3-1 with a 3.52 ERA in 11 games (10 starts) against Cincinnati. He has not allowed a run in his last three starts against the Reds, including two scoreless appearances this season.Adleman will make his 11th career appearance and start and seventh since his Aug. Nike NFL Jerseys China. 16 promotion from Triple-A Louisville. It will be his first career appearance against Chicago.The Reds will likely be without shortstop Zack Cozart, who hasnt played since suffering a knee injury on Sept. 10.Zack (Cozart)s knee hasnt responded to treatment, Reds manager Bryan Price said on Sunday. I wouldnt put him out there unless theres no pain.Billy Hamilton, out with a right knee contusion, is also unlikely to see any time.Billy is tenuous, Price said. Hes shown improvement but hes had zero baseball activity. Im not going to say its impossible for him to come back but its improbable.A Tuesday pitcher is still to be determined due to a full schedule that included a Saturday doubleheader loss to the Pirates.We will have three young starters, Price said. Whoever the starter is on Tuesday, we want to go into that series as rested as possible but thats hard to do with the double header.One ailing player could make a return to the Cubs lineup early this week.Maddon said left fielder Jorge Soler underwent an MRI that turned up no issues after he suffered tightness in his side.Theres nothing really bad, he said. Were going to treat it like a day-to-day situation.
