Made is on Double-A Harrisburg's injured list due to an oblique injury, Sam Dykstra of MLB Pipeline reports.
He picked up the injury this spring and is expected back in the coming weeks. Made was just above league average (103 wRC+) at High-A last year despite hitting just one home run. He hit .158 with one home run and two steals in 21 games at Double-A.

Made (elbow) debuted for Low-A Myrtle Beach on Sunday, starting at shortstop while going 2-for-2 with a walk and two runs in the club's 6-3 win over Augusta.

Cubs' Kevin Made: Out with elbow soreness
Rotowire
Made is on the injured list at Low-A Myrtle Beach with elbow soreness but could return to game action later this month, Jim Callis of MLB.com reports.
A seven-figure signee as part of the Cubs' July 2, 2019 international signing class, Made is an excellent defensive shortstop, which should be his calling card as he moves up the ladder. He hit .272/.296/.366 with one home run, two steals, a 2.5 BB% and a 23.5 K% in 58 games as an 18-year-old at Low-A last season.
