Nick Madrigal Starting At Third Base Friday
2 years agoChicago Cubs infielder Nick Madrigal is getting the start on Friday at third base and is hitting ninth in the batting order against left-hander Julio Urias and the Los Angeles Dodgers. Madrigal hasn't been playing every day for the Cubs yet in 2023, but when he's gotten his chances, he has been hitting. In his first 33 plate appearances over 13 games, the 26-year-old has 10 hits in 31 at-bats (.323) with two doubles, four RBI, two stolen bases and four runs scored. However, despite the nice start, he's a tough sell in DFS lineups in the nine-hole against a tough left-hander in Urias.
