Nick Madrigal
New York Mets • #11 • 3B
Nick Madrigal absent for Cubs Friday afternoon
Chicago Cubs infielder Nick Madrigal is not in the lineup for Friday afternoon's series opener against right-hander Joe Ross and the Milwaukee Brewers.
What It Means
Madrigal started on second base and went 1-for-5 with a double and an RBI in Thursday's series finale against the New York Mets. Nico Hoerner will move back to the keystone on Friday, while Dansby Swanson will return to shortstop.
numberFire's models project Hoerner for 11.2 and Swanson for 8.5 FanDuel points on Friday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Cubs' implied total (3.87) is No. 22 in the majors today.
