Cubs place Michael Hermosillo, Nick Madrigal on the 10-day IL Seiya Suzuki was also a late scratch from the Cubs lineup on Tuesday.

MAY 11, 2022 • SUNTIMES.COM

Out with quad strain Hermosillo was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a left quadriceps strain. The move is retroactive to May 8.

Impact Hermosillo hasn't seen the field since going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts during Saturday's doubleheader against the Dodgers, and he'll now be sidelined by the quad injury. According to Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune, the 27-year-old won't resume baseball activities for at least a few weeks, so he'll be on the shelf for more than a month.

Picks up start Hermosillo is starting in center field and batting eighth in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Dodgers.

Impact Los Angeles is starting lefty Clayton Kershaw, so the Cubs will send both Rafael Ortega and Jason Heyward to the bench, at least to begin the game. Hermosillo hasn't done much at the plate so far this season with just a .083/.290/.125 slash line across 24 at-bats.

Rough day at plate Saturday Hermosillo went 0-for-3 with three strikeouts in Saturday's loss to the Brewers.

Impact Hermosillo struggled in this one, which has been a theme this season, as he's now batting just .083 through 24 at-bats. The 27-year-old theoretically makes up the short side of a platoon with Jason Heyward in center field, but his struggles could cost him playing time moving forward. Rafael Ortega is also in the mix in center, making it a messy situation for fantasy managers.

Starting Sunday Hermosillo is starting in center field and batting eighth in Sunday's game against the Rockies.

Impact Rafael Ortega and Jason Heyward will get the day off against Colorado lefty Austin Gomber, allowing Hermosillo to slide into center. So far, Hermosillo has been on the smaller side of a platoon with the other two outfielders, as he's recorded only seven at-bats so far this season. The 27-year-old will be looking for his first hit of the year Sunday.

Option for platoon in center Hermosillo could work on the weak side of a center field platoon with Jason Heyward this season, with Rafael Ortega also in the mix, Tony Andracki of Marquee Sports Network reports...

Impact Heyward, who is playing center after the arrival of Seiya Suzuki in right, is the most veteran option. Ortega, meanwhile, had a breakout 2021 season, but both he and Heyward bat left handed. That could allow the right-handed Hermosillo to slide into a platoon role and face lefty pitchers. The 27-year-old appeared in 16 games for the Cubs last year, slashing .194/.237/.500. He won't be a fantasy factor unless his role expands.
