The crash resulted in an inside-the-park home run for Jean Segura, but all eyes were on the scary scene in the outfield. Schwarber eventually got to his feet, but was unable to get off the field without help.

How much does the young slugger mean to the Cubs? A lot! Look:
Since Kyle Schwarber made his MLB debut, Cubs have average 5.3 runs per game with him in the lineup, and 3.3 runs per game without him
