Back from injured list The Cubs reinstated Madrigal (groin) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

Impact Madrigal missed nearly two months of action with his injury, but he's ready to resume playing for the big club. Madrigal hit .385 over his last seven rehab games, though because the Cubs have numerous options at second base, it's unclear what role he will fill in the short term. Zach McKinstry will get the nod at the keystone Tuesday versus the Cardinals.

Working on strength, volume Madrigal (groin) will work on strength and volume this week, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

Impact Madrigal was removed from Sunday's rehab game at Triple-A Iowa after experiencing renewed tightness in his left groin, but he'll work on strengthening exercises to begin the week. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to resume his rehab assignment, but it's possible that he'll rejoin the Cubs sometime in late July.

Impact Madrigal will be pulled off the rehab assignment and will return to Chicago to have his injury further evaluated. Even if the setback proves to be only a minor concern, the 25-year-old will more than likely be held out through the All-Star break to get more recovery time from the injury that has kept him on the shelf since mid-June.

Slated to begin rehab assignment Madrigal (groin) will begin a minor-league rehab assignment at Triple-A Iowa on Thursday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Impact Madrigal has been on the injured list with a left groin strain since mid-June, but he's been ramping up his activity level recently. He's hit in live batting practice and participated in base running drills over the last week and will now return to game action in Iowa. The 25-year-old will likely be cleared to rejoin the Cubs after a relatively brief rehab assignment.
