Chicago White Sox second baseman Nick Madrigal will miss the rest of the 2021 season after undergoing surgery to repair tendon tears in his right hamstring Tuesday.
He is expected to be ready for spring training next year, the team said.
"To have the surgery, it clears away some of the uncertainty. I think this way it's a way to put it behind him and start fresh," manager Tony La Russa said.
"It takes the decision out of him and he can take his time and make sure he's 100%."
Danny Mendick and Leury Garcia will continue to see time at second base in Madrigal's absence, La Russa said.
