MIAMI — When Cubs outfielder Nelson Velazquez called home Tuesday, he learned the electricity at his mom’s house in Carolina, Puerto Rico, had been restored. Now, however, the running water was shut off. He has been checking in with his family every day since Hurricane Fiona made landfall Sunday.

‘‘Maybe one day they have electricity and another they have water instead of everything going away,’’ he said in a conversation with the Sun-Times. ‘‘But everything at my house is good. They’re doing OK.’’
