May 25 · MLB Trade Rumors Chicago Cubs Kyle Hendricks Nick MadrigalNick Madrigal Optioned To Triple-A

The Chicago Cubs optioned second baseman Nick Madrigal to Triple-A Iowa on Thursday to make room on the active roster for starting pitcher Kyle Hendricks (shoulder), who is coming off the injured list to make his season debut on Thursday against the New York Mets. Madrigal will be able to play every day in the minors after serving in more of a bench role at the major-league level of late. The 26-year-old had seen action in 34 games and was hitting .247 (23-for-93) with three doubles, a triple, no home runs, nine RBI, two stolen bases and 13 runs scored for the Cubbies. Unless an injury to one of Chicago's infielders opens up more playing time, Madrigal won't have much fantasy value.

Nick Madrigal Leading Off Again Wednesday

Chicago Cubs second baseman Nick Madrigal will hit first again on Wednesday versus the Cardinals, as he did in his last game on Tuesday. With Nico Hoerner still day-to-day with a hamstring injury, Madrigal checks in as an advantageous DFS option at the minimum price on FanDuel. The 26-year-old right-hander does battle against southpaw Jordan Montgomery, and Madrigal is hitting .308 in 26 at-bats opposing lefties this year. Madrigal went 2-for-4 with two runs scored in his previous game. The contact hitter should retain decent streaming value for run-scoring and batting average while Hoerner is sidelined.
