Undoubtedly there were plenty of exasperated groans and screams emanating from Chicago on Friday with the news that Chicago Cubs outfielder Kyle Schwarber will miss the rest of the 2016 season after tearing both the ACL and LCL in his knee on Thursday night. But once cooler heads prevail, Cubs’ fans will realize that there’s no reason to throw the baby out with the bathwater, as Chicago is more than capable of surviving the loss of Schwarber.

Schwarber was no doubt poised for a big year, bursting onto the scene last year, hitting 16 home runs and driving in 43 runs in a mere 69 games. But the rest of the players in Chicago’s offense, specifically the players the Cubs added this offseason, should be enough for the Cubs to survive the absence of Schwarber.

In Schwarber, the Cubs are losing an important left-handed bat in their outfield. However, the Cubs signed a prominent left-handed outfielder this offseason in Jason Heyward. They also added the versatile and switch-hitting Ben Zobrist and managed to re-sign Dexter Fowler late in the offseason. Those three will provide the Cubs with the depth necessary to move forward with Schwarber.

The addition of Heyward and Chicago’s ability to retain Fowler, combined with Schwarber’s breakout season last year, relegated Jorge Soler to a reserve role after starting 95 games in 2015. Despite never playing left field as a pro, Soler should be able to step in for Schwarber. He may not be able to provide the production the Cubs were expecting out of Schwarber heading into the season, but Soler will produce enough to avoid a drastic drop in production in left field.

Even if Soler doesn’t work out as planned, the Cubs can always move the versatile Zobrist to left field, at least on a part-time basis, with both Tommy La Stella and currently injured Javier Baez being candidates to fill-in for Zobrist at second base. Late in the season, it’s also possible that prospect Albert Almora could come to Chicago if the Cubs need another outfielder.

The injury to Schwarber may not have been in Chicago’s plans this year, but the team’s season is far from doomed as a result. Another long-term injury to the Cubs’ outfield would certainly be troublesome, but surviving the season and returning to the playoffs without Schwarber is something the Cubs are more than capable of doing.
