The first half of 2022 has been challenging for Cubs second baseman Nick Madrigal, but the next two-and-a-half months offers a fresh start.
He missed three weeks in May with a low back strain and went on the 15-day injured list June 15 with a left groin strain.
“It’s definitely been a challenge. It's been frustrating at times,” Madrigal said of his 2022 campaign. “There's been a lot of different emotions, but I'm staying positive.” It was a precautionary move after Madrigal felt “a little bit of tightness” and wanted to play things safe.Madrigal will go to Arizona during the All-Star break and continue ramping up. He hopes to rejoin the Cubs right after the break but might play in a couple rehab games first.
