Nick Madrigal on Cubs' bench in Thursday matinee
Chicago Cubs infielder Nick Madrigal is not in the starting lineup for Thursday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Luis Cessa and the Cincinnati Reds.
What It Means:
Madrigal will move to the bench after leading off the first two games of the series. Zach McKinstry will replace Madrigal on second base and in the leadoff spot.
McKinstry is currently numberFire's second-best point-per-dollar value among batters on Thursday. He has a $2,000 salary and numberFire’s models project him for 10.3 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Cubs’ implied total (4.26) is third-highest Thursday and the over/under in the game (8.0) is the highest on the board.
