Opening Sunday's game Borucki will serve as the Pirates' opening pitcher for Sunday's game against the Twins, Justice delos Santos of MLB.com reports.

Impact He's expected to work in front of Osvaldo Bido, who will likely serve as a bulk reliever after he had been initially listed as the Pirates' starting pitcher for the series finale in Minnesota. The left-handed Borucki previously served as an opener for Bido on July 22 against the Angels, striking out three over 1.2 scoreless frames.

JUNE 18, 2023 • SACBEE.COM

Called up from Indianapolis Borucki's contract was selected from Triple-A Indianapolis by the Pirates on Sunday.

Impact Borucki will take the roster spot of Jose Hernandez after Hernandez was placed on the injured list with a calf strain. Signed to a minor-league contract by the Pirates in May after electing free agency rather than accepting an outright assignment from the Cubs, Borucki will be a middle-innings option for the Bucs while he's on the major-league roster.

JUNE 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Inks minors deal with PIT Borucki signed a minor-league contract Tuesday with the Pirates.

Impact Borucki elected to become a free agent after getting pushed off the Cubs' 40-man roster earlier this month. He did not get into a major-league game during his short time with Chicago and will presumably be stationed at the Pirates' Triple-A affiliate in Indianapolis. The 29-year-old lefty reliever struggled to a 5.68 ERA in 25.1 big-league innings last season between Toronto and Seattle.

MAY 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Heads to open market Borucki elected free agency after being outrighted to Triple-A Iowa on Friday, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Impact Rather than sticking around in the Cubs organization with the club's top minor-league affiliate, the lefty reliever will hit the open market with the hope of finding a landing spot that can present him with a clearer path back to the majors. Prior to being outrighted off the 40-man roster, Borucki logged a 12.00 ERA and 2.11 WHIP over his nine innings at Iowa.

MAY 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Outrighted to Triple-A Borucki cleared waivers and was outrighted Friday to Triple-A Iowa, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

Impact Borucki can either accept the assignment to Triple-A or elect to become a free agent. He was designated for assignment by the Cubs on Tuesday after a short stint in the majors during which he did not make an appearance.

MAY 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Designated for assignment Borucki was designated for assignment by the Cubs on Tuesday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact Borucki just had his contract selected to the major-league roster Sunday and he did not wind up making an appearance during his brief time with the Cubs. Miguel Amaya has been called up Tuesday in a corresponding move to the DFA.

MAY 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

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.

APRIL 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

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

The Seattle Mariners claimed left-handed pitcher Gabe Speier off waivers from Kansas City and acquired right-handed pitcher Easton McGee from Boston in exchange for cash

NOVEMBER 9, 2022 • Associated Press

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.

Mariners look to secure 2-game series win against the Blue Jays

The Seattle Mariners will look to sweep a two-game series against the Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday

OCTOBER 8, 2022 • Associated Press

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.
