Nick Madrigal "Ahead Of Schedule"
1 year agoChicago Cubs infielder Nick Madrigal (hamstring) ran and took batting practice prior to Tuesday's game against the Washington Nationals, according to MLB.com. Manager David Ross told reporters that the 26-year-old is "ahead of schedule" and is just about ready to begin a rehab assignment, meaning he could return this month. Madrigal has been out of action since straining his right hamstring in early July. Over 53 games before the injury, the former top prospect was slashing .278/.335/.364 with one home run, 23 runs, 17 RBI, and seven steals. He doesn't do enough in standard leagues to justify holding onto unless there's enough room on the injured list.
