Kris Bryant Leaves Cubs Game Vs. St. Louis With Injury

CHICAGO (AP) -- Cubs star Kris Bryant left their game against St. Louis Sunday afternoon after he got hurt while trying to beat out a double play.

Bryant stepped hard on first and tumbled to the ground in the third inning. The 2016 NL MVP then had to be helped off the field.

Bryant was bothered by right knee soreness for part of this summer. He is batting .282 with 31 homers and 77 RBIs.

Ian Happ replaced Bryant at third base on Sunday.
