Brandon Hughes News
The Arizona Diamondbacks have signed left-handed reliever Brandon Hughes to a minor-league deal and will bring him to spring training as a non-roster invitee. Hughes was a key member of the Cubs' bullpen in his debut season in 2022, posting a 3.12 ERA across 57 innings of work, even locking down eight saves in that time. However, a knee injury cost him much of the 2023 season and he posted a 7.24 ERA in 13 2/3 innings last season before the club non-tendered him this winter. It's a low-risk flier for the D-backs as Hughes posted excellent ERA figures throughout his minor-league career and only struggled following a procedure on his knee. He could be a left-handed factor for the reigning NL champs in 2024.
Chicago Cubs reliever Brandon Hughes (knee) will miss the rest of the 2023 season. The 27-year-old was thought to have been making progress after landing on the injured list because of knee inflammation. However, he'll undergo a distal femoral osteotomy to realign his left knee in hopes of addressing the source of reoccurring swelling. The left-hander has appeared in 17 games this season. But he's struggled, amassing a miserable 7.24 ERA before his year ended prematurely. Hughes could be back for spring training in 2024, although his fantasy value won't be high by any means.
Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Brandon Hughes (knee) will play catch on Friday. Hughes is on the injured list for the third separate time this year with left-knee inflammation, but he's back throwing and could rejoin Chicago's bullpen sooner than later. The 27-year-old left-hander has made 17 appearances out of the bullpen in 2023 and hasn't been good, allowing 11 runs on 14 hits (two homers) while walking eight and striking out 17 in 13 2/3 innings pitched. In his 74 relief appearances over the last two seasons, Hughes has a 3.91 ERA (4.64 FIP), 1.19 WHIP, eight saves (all in 2022) and a 28.2 percent strikeout rate in 71 1/3 frames.
