Julian Merryweather Designated For Assignment By Chicago Cubs

The Cubs' bullpen will need to adjust without this right-handed reliever. He pitched 18 2/3 innings this season with an ERA of 5.79 and a WHIP of 1.82. The team might look to other relievers like Michael Fulmer or Adbert Alzolay for more innings.

In recent games, his ERA had climbed, reaching 19.29 over the last seven games. The Cubs are set to play their next game soon, and the bullpen depth will be a key focus. His last appearance did not record any saves or wins.
