Contreras (knee) could return Friday as the designated hitter for the upcoming series against the White Sox and Twins, Gordon Wittenmyer of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Contreras has already missed the minimum 10 days with a sprained right knee, but it doesn't sound as though he'll have to miss too much more time. He may not be ready to catch yet, but as long as the Cubs trust him to run the bases, he could return to the roster as an offense-only player until his knee fully heals.
