Cubs News: Jon Lester injury update

---

Chicago Cubs ace Jon Lester gave up nine runs in the second inning on Thursday afternoon against the Reds. He threw 40 pitches during the inning and motioned to the trainers that something was wrong after giving up a RBI double to Eugenio Suarez. It was the 11th batter of the inning.

Lester walked off the field and Mike Montgomery entered the game.

The Cubs announced that Lester is being evaluated for left lat tightness and went to Northwestern to get checked out by Dr. Gryzlo.
