Chicago Cubs Receive Positive Injury Updates on Swanson and Madrigal

The Chicago Cubs received positive injury updates on shortstop Dansby Swanson and second baseman Nick Madrigal. Swanson, who has been dealing with a heel injury, may be able to return to the lineup during the upcoming series against the St. Louis Cardinals. However, the timeline for his return remains uncertain. Madrigal, on the other hand, could start a rehab assignment with the Iowa Cubs soon and potentially rejoin the team early next week. The return of both players could create a playing time dilemma, particularly at third base, but having Madrigal back would undoubtedly strengthen the team.

"Phillies' Andrew Painter's Injury Raises Concerns for Promising Prospects"

Philadelphia Phillies prospects Andrew Painter and Noah Song have been kept out of the spotlight as they undergo rehab assignments. Painter, a 20-year-old right-hander, has been dealing with elbow soreness and is being closely monitored by the team. Song, a 26-year-old righty, took a four-year hiatus from baseball to serve in the Navy and is now trying to make the Phillies' active big-league roster. Both pitchers have shown promise and could potentially contribute to the team's playoff push. However, the Phillies have limited media access to the players and are focused on their recovery.

Noah Song's Remarkable Journey: From Navy to the Phillies

Noah Song, a Rule 5 Draft pick by the Philadelphia Phillies, is set to begin a rehab assignment after not pitching competitively since 2019 due to his commitment with the Navy. The Phillies have 30 days to place him on the 26-man roster once the assignment begins, but it remains uncertain if they can afford to keep him in the bullpen during a playoff race. Song's back injury has kept him on the injured list since March, allowing him to retain his Rule 5 status for next season. The team is hopeful that Song's potential could lead to a trade or a spot in the bullpen, but his performance in upcoming games will determine his future.

Chicago White Sox closer Liam Hendriks, who recently announced he is cancer-free, is set to begin a minor league rehab assignment this weekend.

Hendriks' return will provide an emotional boost for the struggling White Sox and help solidify their bullpen, which currently has the second-worst collective ERA in MLB. The 34-year-old has been pitching in minor league games at the White Sox' spring facility and will need at least four or five outings before returning to the Major League club.
