Availability
The St. Louis Cardinals have signed infielder/outfielder Bligh Madris to a minor-league deal.
Fantasy Impact
Madris, 29, last appeared in the big leagues with Detroit in 2024. He has hit .204 with two homers across 228 career big-league plate appearances.
The Tigers re-assigned OF Bligh Madris to minor league camp.
Fantasy Impact
Madris was one of eight players re-assigned on Saturday as roster cuts continue with the season less than two weeks away. He will likely open the season in Triple-A.
Bligh Madris went 2-for-4 with two RBI and two runs scored in the Tigers' 15-1 rout of the Mariners.
Fantasy Impact
His performance included a pair of singles and a walk, contributing significantly to the team's offensive explosion. Madris, who has maintained a solid .304 batting average through 18 games this season, continues to find ways to be productive, increasing his RBI total to 7. His consistent contact at the plate and ability to get on base are positive signs for fantasy managers. With a high .410 BABIP, there might be some regression expected, but his current form can still provide value in deeper fantasy leagues, especially in formats that reward on-base percentage.
Bligh Madris went 3-for-4 in the Tigers' 6-5 win over the Royals with a home run, a double, two runs scored, and one RBI.
Fantasy Impact
This performance underscores a strong showing for Madris in his limited appearances this season, boosting his batting average to an impressive .375 over 10 games. His ability to contribute power with a home run and consistent hitting suggests potential value in deeper fantasy leagues, especially if he can maintain a regular spot in the lineup. However, fantasy managers should be wary of his high strikeout rate and low walk rate, which could limit his on-base opportunities if his batting average normalizes.
Bligh Madris is out of the starting lineup for the Tigers Friday.
Fantasy Impact
Madris will head to the bench after going hitless Thursday. Andy Ibanez will start at first base and bat second against the Royals.
