Almost every one of Cubs second baseman Nick Madrigal’s former White Sox teammates said something to him when they reached second base in the Crosstown series opener.
That list included José Abreu, Yasmani Grandal and Tim Anderson, who was Madrigal’s middle infield mate in the first two seasons of his major-league career.
“Just to see him doing his thing and see him healthy and playing is definitely cool,” Anderson told the Sun-Times.
Madrigal, who sustained a season-ending hamstring tear last June with the White Sox, faced his old team for the first time in a two-game series this week.
