2 years agoThe 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.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
