Alec Mills News
The Cincinnati Reds signed free-agent right-hander Alec Mills to a minor-league deal on Thursday, according to MLB's transaction's log. Mills made 39 career starts with the Chicago Cubs and was a part of their starting rotation for a few years in 2020 and 2021, when he made a combined 43 appearances (31 starts) and went 11-12 with a 4.86 ERA (4.82 FIP), 1.34 WHIP, 53 walks and 133 strikeouts in 181 1/3 innings pitched. He made just two starts in 2022 with Chicago and allowed 20 runs (19 earned) on 28 hits while walking three and striking out 11 in only 17 2/3 frames. The Reds desperately need pitching depth given all the injuries to their starters lately, though, so Mills will first have a chance to prove himself in the minors. It's unlikely he'll end up making a fantasy impact in 2023.
Chicago Cubs right-hander Alec Mills (back) underwent a successful lower-back discectomy on Wednesday, according to the team. Mills has been out of action since early July and was moved to the 60-day injured late last month, so he obviously won't pitch again in 2022. The 30-year-old only appeared in seven games (two starts) for the Cubbies in 2022 before his injury this summer. In those seven appearances, he allowed 19 earned runs on 28 hits (seven home runs given up) while walking three and striking out 11 in 17 2/3 innings pitched.
The Chicago Cubs placed right-hander Alec Mills (back) on the 15-day injured list Sunday with a low back strain. Mills was removed from his start against the Boston Red Sox on Saturday after facing just two batters. He was experiencing back pain during the start and he said that the pain was reminiscent to the back strain he suffered in spring training. The 30-year-old has been limited to just seven appearances (two starts) this year due to injuries. He has an ugly 9.68 ERA and 1.75 WHIP on the year. The Cubs called up right-handed pitcher Michael Rucker to fill Mills' roster spot.
