VIDEO: Anthony Rizzo Leaves Cubs Game After Nasty Ankle Injury

This is the LAST thing Cubs fans anywhere wanted to see on Sunday with Chicago in action against the Pirates. Early on in this one, star first baseman Anthony Rizzo went to field a bunt, but rolled his ankle in a bad way. This does not look good:

As you can see, Rizzo was in a ton of pain while he was down on the field. You could hear a pin drop at Wrigley Field, as the Cubs need their star for the postseason run. That could be in jeopardy depending on how bad the injury is.

We'll have to wait and see what the diagnosis is, but with the Cubs in the middle of a fight for the postseason, they truly can't afford to have Rizzo out for a significant amount of time.
