Chicago Cubs closer Ryan Pressly has not made an appearance since Sunday’s contest against the Arizona Diamondbacks after having his knee drained on Tuesday. Pressly is considered day-to-day, and the hope is that he will return for Friday’s contest.

Cubs manager Craig Counsell praised his young star's complete performance, noting that Crow-Armstrong impacted the game in every phase–offense, defense, and on the base paths. “It's what special players are capable of –impacting all areas of the game,” Cubs manager Craig Counsell told MLB.com's Jordan Bastian.

It could be different tomorrow,” Cubs second baseman Nico Hoerner said with a laugh. “Who knows?” At that point in February, the Cubs had not yet traveled approximately 12,000 miles round-trip for the Tokyo Series.
