Ryan Borucki - Page 5 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Added to MLB roster The Cubs selected the contract of Borucki from Triple-A Iowa on Sunday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Impact Borucki will have a chance to make his debut with the Cubs after signing with the club as a non-roster invite over the winter. The left-hander will be an option in the middle innings while with Chicago. Caleb Kilian was optioned to Iowa in the corresponding transaction.

Set for third spring appearance Borucki (forearm) is scheduled to make his third Cactus League appearance in Monday's game against the Mariners, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact Between his first two relief outings of the spring, Borucki gave up one earned run on two hits while striking out three in two innings. The southpaw finished the 2022 season on the Mariners' 60-day injured list due to a forearm strain, and after being removed from Seattle's 40-man roster in November and electing free agency, Borucki struck a minor-league deal with the Cubs in January. He's attending camp as a non-roster invitee and is hoping to win a spot in Chicago's Opening Day bullpen.

Report: Ryan Borucki Signs With Cubs Former Blue Jays left-hander Ryan Borucki has reportedly signed a minor-league deal with the Cubs.

JANUARY 4, 2023 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Lands with Cubs Borucki (forearm) and the Cubs agreed Wednesday on a minor-league deal, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

Impact The contract presumably includes an invitation to big-league spring training, where Borucki will look to compete for a spot in the Cubs' Opening Day bullpen. Before putting himself in consideration for a roster spot with Chicago, the 28-year-old will first have to prove that he's fully past the left forearm strain that sidelined him for the final two months of the 2022 campaign. Prior to getting hurt last season, Borucki made 32 appearances in the majors between the Blue Jays and Mariners, netting a 5.68 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 21:11 K:BB across 25.1 innings.

Mariners add pitchers Gabe Speier, Easton McGee to roster

Trying luck in free agency Borucki (forearm) elected free agency after he cleared outright waivers Wednesday.

Impact Borucki finished the 2022 season on Seattle's 15-day injured list with a left forearm strain, an injury that prevented him from making any appearances out of the bullpen after Aug. 8. With the southpaw having turned in an underwhelming 5.68 ERA and 1.38 WHIP in 25.1 big-league innings prior to landing on the shelf, the Mariners weren't interested in adding him back to the 40-man roster and tendering him a contract for 2023. The 28-year-old may be ready to go for spring training, but he'll likely have to settle for a minor-league deal in free agency this offseason.

Lands on IL The Mariners placed Borucki (forearm) on the 15-day injured list Tuesday.

Impact Borucki's move to the IL was easy to see coming after he was diagnosed with a left forearm strain when he exited early in his relief appearance during Monday's loss to the Yankees. Even if Borucki's forearm strain is revealed to be of the low-grade variety, he's still likely to spend more than the minimum 15 days on the shelf. The Mariners recalled fellow left-handed reliever Brennan Bernardino from Triple-A Tacoma in a corresponding move.

Likely IL-bound with forearm strain The Mariners are expected to place Borucki on the 15-day injured list Tuesday after he was removed from Monday's 9-4 loss to the Yankees with a left forearm strain, Shannon Drayer...

Impact He's scheduled to undergo an MRI early Tuesday as the Mariners look to determine the severity of Borucki's forearm strain, but injuries of these sort typically require more than 15 days of recovery time. Since being acquired from the Blue Jays in early June, Borucki has appeared in 21 games out of the Seattle bullpen and has posted a 4.26 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 13:6 K:BB in 19 innings while collecting two wins and four holds.

AUGUST 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Nabs second win Sunday Borucki (2-0) recorded the win in a victory over the Rangers on Sunday, firing 1.1 scoreless innings during which he issued two walks and recorded a strikeout.

Impact Borucki wasn't at his sharpest and labored a bit as a result, needing 27 pitches to record four outs. However, the southpaw served as an important bridge to the sixth inning after starter Chris Flexen, working on short rest, exited following 76 pitches. Sunday's appearance was the seventh consecutive scoreless effort for Borucki, and he's now recorded a win in two of his last three outings.

JULY 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Impressive for first win Borucki (1-0) nabbed the win in an extra-innings victory over the Blue Jays on Friday, firing two perfect innings during which he recorded a strikeout.

Impact Borucki earned every bit of his first win -- which notably came against his old squad -- turning in a highly efficient outing that saw him pound 14 of his 21 pitches into the strike zone. The 28-year-old southpaw was rewarded for his pristine effort Friday when Eugenio Suarez walked it off with a three-run home run in the bottom of the 11th, and Borucki has now turned in eight scoreless appearances in his last nine trips to the mound, including five straight.

Gets fourth hold Friday Borucki secured his fourth hold in a win over the Angels on Friday, firing a perfect sixth inning during which he recorded two strikeouts.

Impact Borucki was pretty close to perfect, getting his three outs on 12 pitches, nine which found the strike zone. The southpaw has now contributed four scoreless appearances in his last five trips to the mound, and he's furnished a 4.76 ERA and a pair of holds since making his Mariners debut June 6.

JUNE 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Solid relief effort Sunday Borucki allowed an earned run on three hits over one inning while recording a strikeout in a loss to the Angels on Sunday.

Impact Borucki pitched to plenty of contact but was fortunate to limit the damage to just one run. The southpaw has generated scoreless efforts in four of his first six appearances in Seattle, but he's given up three earned runs across 1.1 innings in the two outings during which he's been scored upon.

JUNE 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Grabs hold in team debut Borucki, just traded to the Mariners on Saturday, earned his third hold in a win over the Astros on Monday, getting one out to close out the seventh inning.

Impact Borucki's Mariners debut took all of two pitches but was effective, earning him his first hold since May 20. The southpaw gave up two earned runs apiece in each of his last two appearances with the Blue Jays prior to his trade, so a clean outing of any duration is certainly a welcome sight as he tries to reset in a new locale.

Blue Jays Trade LHP Ryan Borucki To Mariners The Blue Jays have acquired minor-league infielder Tyler Keenan from the Mariners in exchange for Ryan Borucki.

JUNE 5, 2022 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Traded to Mariners Borucki was traded to the Mariners on Saturday, Andersen Pickard of MLBDailyDish.com reports.

Impact The reliever was designated for assignment by the Blue Jays on Tuesday, but the Mariners sent minor league infielder Tyler Keenan to Toronto in exchange for him Saturday. Borucki owns a 9.95 ERA and 1.89 WHIP with eight strikeouts over 6.1 innings in 11 appearances this year. In order to make room for him on the 40-man roster, Mike Ford was DFA'd by the Mariners on Saturday.

Blue Jays DFA Ryan Borucki, Recall Trent Thornton Ryan Borucki, the longest tenured member of the Blue Jays organization, was designated for assignment on Tuesday.

MAY 31, 2022 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Booted from 40-man roster The Blue Jays designated Borucki for assignment Tuesday.

Impact Borucki has no minor-league options remaining, so any team that puts in a waiver claim or trades for the 28-year-old lefty will have to keep him on its 26-man active roster. He had endured a rough start to the 2022 season, spending time on the injured list with a hamstring strain and a blister on his pitching hand while giving up seven earned runs and walking five over 6.1 innings out of the Toronto bullpen.
