Nick Madrigal was sent to Triple-A Iowa May 25 when Kyle Hendricks was activated from the injured list.
Madrigal, who got sporadic playing time with the Cubs, did nothing but rake for Iowa. In 11 games there he batted .488/.580/.854 (20-for-41) with six doubles, three triples, a home run, eight walks and 14 runs scored.
Hopefully, that will translate back to the major leagues, where Madrigal hit .317/.358/.406 in 83 games with the White Sox before he was acquired by the Cubs in the Craig Kimbrel trade in July 2021. Madrigal will be in tonight’s starting lineup, playing second base and leading off, as Nico Hoerner gets the night off.
