| 5/25/25 | Cubs Reliever's Downturn in Performance, Injuries Leads to Latest Roster Move. The Chicago Cubs made a significant roster move ahead of their second game against the Cincinnati Reds on Saturday afternoon. Changing things up in the bullpen, Chicago announced they were designating struggling right-hander Julian Merryweather for assignment and instead recalling fellow right-hander Brooks Kriske from Triple-A Iowa. The way Merryweather performed not only this year but last year as well made the decision not exactly come as a huge surprise, but it's notable nonetheless based on the caliber of reliever the 33-year-old once was in the Windy City. Merryweather was originally acquired by Chicago in the offseason following the 2022 campaign, being claimed off waivers after he was DFA by the Toronto Blue Jays.

| 5/24/25 | Chicago Cubs DFA struggling reliever Julian Merryweather and call up right-hander Brooks Kriske. CINCINNATI — Coming into the season, the Chicago Cubs hoped a healthy Julian Merryweather could again be a reliable reliever in high-leverage spots. The belief that Merryweather would recapture his 2023 form came to fruition early. He allowed two runs, three walks and striking out 10 in 9 2/3 innings (1.74 ERA) through his first 10 appearances. But Merryweather had been inconsistent over the ... Source: https://sports.yahoo.com/article/chicago-cubs-dfa-... |
| 5/23/25 | Craig Counsell is probably begging for the Cubs to make this roster move. A former Milwaukee reliever is available - and could be on the Cubs skipper's radar. Guys like Julian Merryweather, Mark Leiter Jr., and Jorge López are some recent examples of the Cubs dusting off a DFA'd reliever and turning their careers around in the pitching lab.

After falling behind late, Justin Turner picked the absolute perfect time for his first extra base hit of the year, driving home both the tying and winning runs with a two-RBI double in the ninth.

| 2/27/25 | Chicago Cubs Have Two Young Future Stars To Build Their Bullpen Around. One of the major reasons that the Chicago Cubs struggled to take their performance to the next level during the 2024 season was the lack of success from their bullpen. In the early going of the campaign, it was a struggle to hold onto leads since the bullpen was not effective. There are only two players from the Opening Day roster in 2024 in the bullpen that remain with the team; Julian Merryweather and Luke Little. As a rookie in 2024, Little provided the team with solid production, making 30 appearances and pitching 26 innings. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/cubs/news/chicago-cubs-have... |

Merryweather last pitched Sunday, when he allowed four runs and five hits in one inning of Chicago's 7-2 road loss to the Miami Marlins.

| 7/23/24 | As the MLB trade deadline nears, a rolling Chicago Cubs bullpen could be forced to get a makeover. In some ways, Julian Merryweather felt he hadn’t missed too much time. The Chicago Cubs’ 32-year-old reliever had stayed in touch with his teammates, at first by staying around the team following the unusual rib stress fracture he sustained one week into the season. Once his symptoms went away after six weeks as expected and the rehab process started up, Merryweather continued to keep an eye ... Source: https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb-trade-deadline-nears-... |

| 7/09/24 | Forgotten Cubs pitching prospect inching closer to Major League return. Help is on the way for the Chicago Cubs pitching staff but given their remaining schedule prior to the All-Star break, it may be too late. Before starting their game against the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday evening, the Cubs provided injury updates on several of their pitchers currently on the injured list. In hindsight, Julian Merryweather's injury proved to be a much bigger deal for the Cubs' bullpen than may have been anticipated when he first went down with a rib injury in April.

| 7/02/24 | Chicago Cubs could get a boost from impending return of multiple pitchers. As the Chicago Cubs kicked off their first series in July against the best team in the majors, pitching help is on its way.

| 4/26/24 | Chicago Cubs find bullpen depth from unlikely place. The Chicago Cubs have reportedly signed 28-year-old pitcher Daniel Missaki, a Brazilian-born player who most recently played with the Diablo Rojos in the Mexican League. It's an intriguing move that could provide some depth to a Cubs bullpen that has already taken a major blow with the loss of set-up man Julian Merryweather. Since Merryweather went down in early April, former closer Adbert Alzolay has struggled mightily in the ninth inning, having already surpassed his blown save mark from last year (3) in the first month of 2024. If the bullpen takes another hit via injury or poor performance, perhaps Nissaki can eventually slide in and try to prove himself in MLB again.

| 4/21/24 | 3 Early trade targets to bolster the Chicago Cubs' bullpen. The Chicago Cubs are performing generally well to start the year, with an overall record of 11-7 through their first 18 games. Julian Merryweather was just transferred to the 60-day IL while the other main set-up man Hector Neris has struggled out of the gate. Not to mention Adbert Alzolay hasn't been that sharp. After just three weeks, the Cubs' closer has already matched his 2023 marks in blown saves (3) and home runs allowed (3), meaning the Cubs may need to bring in somebody else for the ninth inning at some point this year.

| 4/10/24 | 3 relievers the Chicago Cubs should consider calling up for the bullpen. It's way too early in the season to be making proclamations about the Chicago Cubs, but there are already major concerns to be had. Despite a stellar offense that's been grinding out wins and a starting rotation that has enjoyed some strong performances despite injuries, the bullpen is a mess. Julian Merryweather is injured, Adbert Alzolay and Hector Neris haven't looked too sharp to start the year, and, save for Mark Leiter Jr., the rest either have question marks or bright red flags hanging over them. Heading into Tuesday night's game, the Cubs bullpen held a 5.12 ERA through 45 2/3 innings. Source: https://cubbiescrib.com/posts/3-relievers-the-chic... |
