Julian Merryweather News
The Chicago Cubs moved right-hander Julian Merryweather (back, ribs) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list on Wednesday to open up a spot on the 40-man roster for right-hander Colton Brewer, who was recalled from Triple-A Iowa. The Cubs also recalled right-hander Hayden Wesneski from Iowa and optioned left-hander Luke Little and right-hander Daniel Palencia to Iowa. The 32-year-old Merryweather was diagnosed with a stress fracture in his ribs and in his back last week and he won't be eligible to return to the club until early June. He won't resume throwing for three weeks and may not be able to return to the Cubs' bullpen until closer to the All-Star break. Injuries continue to bother Merryweather in his MLB career.
Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Julian Merryweather picked up his second save of the season on Sunday in a 4-3 win over the Colorado Rockies. Merryweather struck out one and walked a pair but escaped unscathed. After Adbert Alzolay went on the IL, it appeared as though Merryweather was in line for some save opportunities. Unfortunately, the Cubs haven't won many close games recently and Merryweather only has a couple saves in his absence. With Alzolay likely coming off the IL Tuesday, it will be tough to decipher which Cubs reliever will be relied upon in save situations in the final week of the season.
Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Julian Merryweather notched his first save of the season Sunday, securing a 5-2 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks. Merryweather allowed just a walk and struck out a pair in his inning of work. It should be noted that usual closer Adbert Alzolay was unavailable due to pitching back-to-back days prior to Sunday. Still, Merryweather has been very impressive in his time with the Cubs, and should Alzolay falter he is likely next up for save chances. Merryweather doesn't need to be rostered in many leagues, but an eye should be kept on the situation in Chicago down the stretch.
