Chicago Cubs shortstop Addison Russell (foot) will go through one more workout Saturday before being activated from the disabled list.
Russell said on Friday that he's game-ready following a successful workout on Thursday, but the Cubs want to make sure after he didn't complete a rehab assignment. The 23-year-old shortstop last played on August 2 due to plantar fasciitis in his right foot.
Over 97 games (348 plate appearances) this season, Russell has posted a .241/.305/.417 slash with 10 home runs, 36 RBI, and 46 runs scored. numberFire's models project him to record a .250 batting average in 22 plate appearances over the remainder of the year.
