Steven Brault News
The Chicago Cubs selected left-hander Steven Brault's contract from Triple-A Iowa on Saturday and sent Mark Leiter Jr. to Iowa in a corresponding move. The Cubs also designated Matt Swarmer for assignment and added Anderson Espinoza to the roster as the 27th man for their doubleheader against the New York Mets on Saturday. Brault last pitched in the big leagues in 2021 for the Pittsburgh Pirates, going 0-3 with a 5.86 ERA and 1.63 WHIP with 19 strikeouts in 27 2/3 innings over seven starts. He missed almost three months this year with a left triceps strain, but he should pitch at some point on Saturday as a middle reliever for the Cubbies.
Chicago Cubs pitcher Steven Brault will receive a minor league deal with an invitation to spring training. The 29-year-old is currently dealing with an injury setback, so the deal changed from a major league deal to minor league. Brault will make $1.5 million with incentives to make additional money, assuming he makes the big league roster. He also has an option to opt-out in July if the team doesn't call him up. Brault struggled with the Pittsburgh Pirates last season. Hopefully, Brault can turn it around on the North Side.
Free-agent pitcher Steven Brault has signed an undisclosed deal with the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday, according to sources familiar with the situation. Brault will give the Cubs some starting rotation insurance after it was announced on Tuesday that Adbert Alzolay (lat) will miss at least two months with a lat strain. The 29-year-old left-hander should battle with Justin Steele and Keegan Thompson for the final rotation spot in Chicago to begin the season. Brault made only seven starts (27 2/3 innings) for the Pittsburgh Pirates last year due to a lat strain and had a career-high 5.86 ERA and 1.63 WHIP. He has a 4.77 career ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 7.6 K/9 in 107 outings (52 starts) over six major league seasons, all with the Pirates. Brault's experience could give him a leg up, but he has very little fantasy upside.
