Codi Heuer Stats

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Codi Heuer (elbow) will miss all of the 2022 season after having successful Tommy John surgery on Tuesday, according to a source familiar with the situation. The 25-year-old was part of the trade that sent closer Craig Kimbrel to the Chicago White Sox last year. Heuer is a hard-throwing, high-leverage reliever who posted a 3.14 ERA in 28 2/3 innings for the Cubs in 2021. The right-hander had a 5.12 ERA, 1.42 WHIP, 39 strikeouts and 10 walks in 38 2/3 relief innings for the White Sox before he was traded at midseason. Heuer's injury is a big loss for the Cubs, as they were likely planning to use him as a late-inning setup man to closer Rowan Wick. Manuel Rodriguez and Brad Wieck could get more opportunities in the eighth inning now.

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Codi Heuer recorded his first save of the season in Tuesday's victory versus the Cincinnati Reds. Heuer recorded the final six outs of the game and struck out two with no hits or walks allowed. Saves have been few and far between with the Cubs since the trade deadline and the Cubs have used three different pitchers for saves with the departure of Craig Kimbrel. Heuer came over from the White Sox as part of the return for Kimbrel and is now 4-2 with a 4.44 ERA and one save between the two clubs this season. With the Cubs not providing many save chances and also operating as a committee, managers don't need to rush to the waiver wire for Heuer.

Updating an earlier report, the Chicago Cubs have acquired second baseman Nick Madrigal and relief pitcher Codi Heuer from the White Sox for relief pitcher Craig Kimbrel, according to Bob Nightengale of USA Today. Madrigal is out for the rest of the year with a torn hamstring, and over 54 games this year, he slashed .305/.349/.425 with two homers, one steal, 21 RBI and 30 runs scored. Heuer has made 40 appearances this season, going 4-1 with a 5.12 ERA, 1.422 WHIP and 23.5 percent strikeout rate across 38 2/3 innings of work. Heuer is unlikely to have any value outside of SV/HLD formats through the rest of this season. Meanwhile Madrigal now looks set to be the starting second baseman for the Cubs in 2022.
