Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo (lower back) is day-to-day, manager David Ross said Wednesday.
Rizzo, who’s missed time in recent seasons with back issues, sat out Summer Camp activities on Tuesday and Wednesday with lower back tightness.
“He came in yesterday, felt a little stiffness in some similar areas that he’s been sore before and [we’re] just getting ahead of it,” Ross told reporters in Wednesday’s Zoom session. “We had a light day yesterday with just the 2 1/2 innings and then a really light day of just live BP today.
“He's day-to-day but I just wanted to make sure at this time in the schedule that we use caution."

Rizzo entered Summer Camp in great shape, having lost 25 pounds during baseball's shutdown while training with Cubs quality assurance coach Mike Napoli.
