Anyone know why some guys on the Cubs wear that batting helmet that covers their jaw?

It's obvious why they would (safety) but was there some incident that compelled them to wear it? Nobody else does.

EDIT: Oh right, I have the internet too!

This might have something to do with it:

That guy (Marlon Byrd) is no longer on the team though, and was apparently suspended for 162 games in June after testing positive for PEDs a second time.
