Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim

Madrigal was signed out of the Dominican Republic by the Anaheim Angels in 2001. After spending three years as an outfielder for the Cedar Rapids Kernels, the Angels' Low-A affiliate, Madrigal was converted to a pitcher in 2006.

At the end of the 2007 season, the Angels decided to protect Madrigal from the Rule 5 Draft by putting him on their 40-man roster on November 6. However, because Madrigal had spent 6 years in the minor leagues with one team, he became a free agent at the close of the 2007 World Series on October 29.

The Texas Rangers subsequently signed Madrigal to a contract on November 18, 2007. [1]

Madrigal made his debut for the Rangers on July 2, 2008, pitching in the 7th inning against the New York Yankees at old Yankee Stadium. Madrigal lasted only one-third of an inning, giving up six runs and Brett Gardner's first career hit.

Madrigal split the 2009 season between the major leagues and the Triple-A Oklahoma City RedHawks.
