Madden allowed three runs on three hits and a walk across 1.2 innings of relief in Sunday's 11-7 loss to the Royals. He struck out three.
Madden did a good job of missing bats Sunday but otherwise had a rough outing, which continued a poor recent stretch of games. The righty has been scored on in five straight appearances, and he has a 9.00 ERA during the stretch. Overall, Madden has been better with a 3.46 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 40 strikeouts across 39 innings this season. He remains a trusted middle reliever with limited fantasy upside.
