Nick Madrigal News
Chicago Cubs second baseman Nick Madrigal (groin) has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a right groin strain. The 25-year-old infielder left Friday's game against the Giants early with right groin tightness and that's the ailment that's placed him on the IL. He was hampered by a left groin issue earlier this season as well. Injuries have limited Madrigal to just 59 games played this season where he's put together a .249 batting average to go along with a .587 OPS and seven RBI over 209 at-bats. There's a chance he could make it back for the end of the regular season.
Chicago Cubs infielder Nick Madrigal put together a nice performance during Thursday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. The 25-year-old has been limited to 38 games this season due to injuries. He looked healthy and ready to play during the second annual Field of Dreams Game in Dyersville, Iowa. Madrigal went 3-for-5 with an RBI and two stolen bases in the win over the Cincinnati Reds. Sadly, Madrigal hasn't brought much to the plate this season, but fantasy managers in dynasty formats should hang onto him.
Chicago Cubs second baseman Nick Madrigal (groin) was forced to exit early during Sunday's rehab game. The young infielder will be re-evaluated after experiencing tightness in his groin. He has been sidelined since mid-June due to a left groin strain. The 25-year-old is hopeful to rejoin the Cubs roster at some point during the second half of the season. Madrigal was hitting .222/.263/.250 with no home runs, and two RBI before landing on the injured list.

Chicago White Sox second baseman Nick Madrigal's rookie season went as expected in a limited 2020 sample size. He registered an impressive .340 batting average, .376 on-base percentage and a paltry .369 slugging percentage with no home runs and 11 RBI over 103 at-bats. Only three of his 35 hits went for extra bases, but the lack of power fits his profile. He hit just eight home runs in five seasons between college and the minors. The lack of stolen bases, however, was a surprise. After 43 steals across 163 career games in the minors, he swiped just two bags on three attempts in 2020. A separated shoulder that required offseason surgery and limited him to just 29 games likely made him gun shy on theft attempts. On the plus side, Madrigal's zone-contact rate (93.1%), chase-contact rate (80%) and 6.4% strikeout rate were all elite. While he only drew four walks in his 107 plate appearances, he posted an exemplary 58:109 K:BB ratio over his five seasons in college and the minors. The non-existent power is baked into his current ADP of 191, but his potential position in the batting order shouldn't be ignored. He hit ninth in 27 games last year, and there's a chance he starts there again in 2021, especially with the addition of Adam Eaton. If Madrigal is fully recovered from his shoulder surgery, he's a safe late-round target for average and stolen bases, but know you'll be getting no power whatsoever.
