Cubs Decline Mutual Option On Brad Boxberger For 2024

Relief pitcher Brad Boxberger had his $5 million mutual option declined by the Cubs. He will receive an $800,000 buyout. Boxberger got into just 22 games as he dealt with multiple injuries. The 35-year-old pitched to a 4.95 ERA in 20 innings.

Brad Boxberger To Toss Another Bullpen Friday

Chicago Cubs reliever Brad Boxberger (forearm) has pitched a few bullpen sessions recently and will throw another on Friday, according to MLB.com. It's been a long stint on the injured list for the right-hander, who hasn't appeared in a game since May 13 after sustaining a right forearm strain. Boxberger began the season in the closer mix, picking up a pair of saves, but after posting a 5.52 ERA, 1.50 WHIP, and 20.0% strikeout rate, the Cubs started to use Adbert Alzolay and Mark Leiter Jr. in the ninth inning. There's still no timetable for his return, but he'll be fantasy irrelevant when he's finally back.

Brad Boxberger Loses Thursday's Game

Chicago Cubs right-hander Brad Boxberger was tagged with the loss in Thursday's contest with the Washington Nationals. He came into the game trying to maintain a 2-2 tie in the bottom of the ninth inning but gave up a leadoff walk-off homer to Alex Call. Boxberger owns a 4.09 ERA and a 1.18 WHIP with nine strikeouts and two saves across 11 innings and has been much better than Michael Fulmer, who has posted a 6.57 ERA and was the other closer candidate coming into 2023. So, despite the 34-year-old's performance Thursday, fantasy managers shouldn't be worried about his role and should expect him to receive the majority of save opportunities.

Brad Boxberger Grabs Second Save

Chicago Cubs right-handed pitcher Brad Boxberger secured his second save of the season by shutting down the San Diego Padres on Thursday, closing out a 5-2 victory. Boxberger came in for the ninth and walked the leadoff hitter, but then coaxed a double play ball and a fly out to end the game. Boxberger has been mostly solid for the Cubs, and now holds a 3.60 ERA and 1.20 WHIP. They are not elite numbers, but they're good enough that he should continue to see save opportunities with Michael Fulmer now clearly out of the picture. He should be added in any leagues where saves are valuable.

Brad Boxberger Converts First Save

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Brad Boxberger was asked to shut the door in the ninth inning versus the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday. This comes one day after fellow relief pitcher Michael Fulmer blew the game. Boxberger did excellent with three strikeouts and only allowing one hit while securing the one-run victory for Chicago. He holds a 1.42 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 7/2 K/BB ratio over 6 1/3 innings this season. Boxberger could very well see more save chances if Fulmer continues to struggle.

Michael Fulmer, Brad Boxberger Viewed As Primary Closers

The Chicago Cubs view relievers Michael Fulmer and Brad Boxberger as their primary closing options in 2023 for the ninth inning. Boxberger has 82 career saves and a long track record of durability and reliability. Fulmer won the American League Rookie of the Year in 2016 and was an All-Star in 2017 as a starter, but he moved to a full-time relief role after having Tommy John surgery in 2019. He saved 14 games for the Tigers in 2021 and had a 2.97 ERA in almost 70 innings. The Cubs also could use the likes of Brandon Hughes, Rowan Wick and Adbert Alzolay in closing situations, which makes Chicago's closing situation more of a committee approach. But if you're speculating on saves in deeper leagues, Fulmer and Boxberger could be decent options.

Brad Boxberger Joining The Cubs

The Chicago Cubs and right-handed relief pitcher Brad Boxberger agreed to a one-year deal worth $2 million on Thursday, according to sources familiar with the deal. The deal includes a $5 million mutual option for the 2024 season that comes with an $800,000 buyout. The 34-year-old became a free agent when the Milwaukee Brewers declined his $3 million option in November. Boxberger was solid for the Brewers in 2022, posting a 2.95 ERA, 1.23 WHIP, one save and 68 strikeouts in 64 relief innings over 70 appearances. He has 82 career saves in 11 major-league seasons, and there's a chance he could enter the saves picture in Chicago next year along with names like Brandon Hughes and Manuel Rodriguez.

Brad Boxberger Notches Save On Friday

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Brad Boxberger was asked to take the ball in the ninth inning during Friday's contest against the Cincinnati Reds. The Brewers were forced to use someone else in the ninth inning with Josh Hader out on the paternity list. Right-hander Devin Williams was expected to get the nod in the ninth, but instead pitched the eighth inning. Boxberger was a little shaky, but was able to convert the save on Friday. The right-hander does have closer experience, but is expected to slide back into a setup role once Hader returns.

Brewers Sign Brad Boxberger To One-Year Deal

The Milwaukee Brewers signed free-agent pitcher Brad Boxberger to a one-year, $2.5 million contract on Sunday. He returns to Milwaukee in 2022, where he will reprise his role as one of Milwaukee's top setup man for star closer Josh Hader. The 33-year-old posted a 5-4 record with a 3.34 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, and an 83:24 K: BB over 64 2/3 innings in 2021. He also chipped in 23 holds and four saves. Boxberger will provide solid ratios and mainly has fantasy appeal in league formats with the category solds (saves and holds).

Brad Boxberger Takes Loss To Giants In Rubber Match

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Brad Boxberger (4-3) allowed a run on two hits and struck out one in one inning, taking the loss Sunday versus the Giants. The right-hander allowed an RBI single to Tommy La Stella in the eighth inning, and that was the decisive play in the game. Boxberger's scoreless streak came to an end at 7 2/3 innings. He's seen a more significant role lately with Josh Hader on the COVID-19 injured list. Boxberger has a 2.66 ERA, 1.08 WHIP, and 58:21 K: BB with four saves, 15 holds, and two blown saves in 47 1/3 innings on the season.
