Cubs' Nick Madrigal sitting in Friday matinee
Chicago Cubs infielder Nick Madrigal is not in the starting lineup for Friday afternoon's game against right-hander Miles Mikolas and the St. Louis Cardinals.
What It Means:
Christopher Morel is moving to second base in place of Madrigal while Rafael Ortega enters the lineup to play center field and bat second.
numberFire’s models project Ortega for 12.2 FanDuel points on Friday, and he has a $5,500 salary on the one-game slate. Ortega is our top point-per-dollar value among hitters on the afternoon slate.
