Chicago Cubs infielder Nick Madrigal (hamstring) did some fielding work on Tuesday before his club's game against the Atlanta Braves. The 26-year-old was placed on the injured list on September 19 after suffering a right hamstring strain. Madrigal's likely done for the rest of the regular season, but manager David Ross thinks he could make an appearance in the postseason if Chicago's still playing in October. The former top prospect has disappointed with the Cubs, and he slashed just .263/.311/.352 with two homers, 34 runs, 28 RBI, and 10 steals over 92 games this year.
Chicago Cubs infielder Nick Madrigal (hamstring) is dealing with a hamstring issue and will sit out Sunday night's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks after he left Saturday's contest early, according to MLB.com. The 26-year-old has played in just 151 games over the last two seasons due to a multitude of injuries. Over 92 games this season, Madrigal owns a .263/.311/.352 slash line with two home runs, 34 runs, 28 RBI, and 10 stolen bases. The former first-round pick hasn't lived up to the hype he had as a prospect, and fantasy managers should only roster him in very deep formats. Stay tuned for more updates.
Chicago Cubs infielder Nick Madrigal (hamstring) has been activated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Saturday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. The 26-year-old has been sidelined since early June due to a right hamstring strain. He missed time during his minor league rehab assignment as well due to a back issue. Madrigal will cover third base and bat ninth versus right-hander Adam Wainwright on Saturday. In a corresponding move, infielder Miles Mastrobuoni has been optioned to Triple-A Iowa.

Chicago White Sox second baseman Nick Madrigal's rookie season went as expected in a limited 2020 sample size. He registered an impressive .340 batting average, .376 on-base percentage and a paltry .369 slugging percentage with no home runs and 11 RBI over 103 at-bats. Only three of his 35 hits went for extra bases, but the lack of power fits his profile. He hit just eight home runs in five seasons between college and the minors. The lack of stolen bases, however, was a surprise. After 43 steals across 163 career games in the minors, he swiped just two bags on three attempts in 2020. A separated shoulder that required offseason surgery and limited him to just 29 games likely made him gun shy on theft attempts. On the plus side, Madrigal's zone-contact rate (93.1%), chase-contact rate (80%) and 6.4% strikeout rate were all elite. While he only drew four walks in his 107 plate appearances, he posted an exemplary 58:109 K:BB ratio over his five seasons in college and the minors. The non-existent power is baked into his current ADP of 191, but his potential position in the batting order shouldn't be ignored. He hit ninth in 27 games last year, and there's a chance he starts there again in 2021, especially with the addition of Adam Eaton. If Madrigal is fully recovered from his shoulder surgery, he's a safe late-round target for average and stolen bases, but know you'll be getting no power whatsoever.
