Nick Madrigal moving to Cubs' bench Tuesday
Chicago Cubs infielder Nick Madrigal is not in the starting lineup on Tuesday against right-hander Paolo Espino and the Washington Nationals.
What It Means:
Madrigal will take a seat after starting the last two games and four of the past five. Christopher Morel will move to the keystone while Zach McKinstry takes over on third base and bats eighth.
Morel has a $2,900 salary on Tuesday and numberFire’s models project him for 11.8 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Cubs’ implied total (4.31) is No. 11 out of 28 teams on the Main slate.
