Jared Young of Prince George is back in the Big Leagues after the Chicago Cubs recalled the 28-year-old infielder from their Triple-A affiliate Iowa Cubs.
This comes after Chicago infielder Nick Madrigal was placed on the 10-day IL for a right hamstring strain.

This is Young’s second stint in the big leagues this season after being called up to the Cubs in June.
In his first at-bat with Chicago this season, he hit a solo home run.
The rest of this 13-game run was much less fruitful, as Young batted .171 (6 of 35).
Tuesday night in the Cubs 14-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates, Young came off the bench and smashed an RBI triple to go 1-for-1 at the plate.
The (79-72) Cubs are holding onto the last wildcard spot in the National League, 1/2 a game behind Arizona and 1/2 a game ahead of Miami.
