Ryan Rolison - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Earns fifth win Saturday Rolison (5-1) pitched a scoreless inning of relief to earn the win in Saturday's 3-2 extra-inning victory over the Giants. He walked a batter and struck out two.

Impact Rolison pitched a clean top of the 10th inning, then secured the win when the Cubs plated a run in the bottom half to complete their comeback. After struggling to a 7.02 ERA and 1.77 WHIP across 42.1 innings last season during his MLB debut with the Rockies, the lefty has been much better in year No. 2 with a 2.49 ERA and 1.25 WHIP in 21.2 innings so far. A move away from Coors Field surely helped, but Rolison has also dialed his fastball up to 94.5 mph on average after sitting at 92.9 mph in 2025. His K/9 has climbed accordingly from 5.3 last season to 8.7 in 2026.

Allows walk-off homer Sunday Rolison (3-1) blew the save and took the loss Sunday against the White Sox, allowing two runs (one earned) on one hit over one-third of an inning.

Impact Rolison entered the 10th inning protecting a one-run lead in the first save opportunity of his career, but things unraveled quickly. After Andrew Benintendi successfully bunted the automatic runner to third base, Edgar Quero ended the game with a two-run walk-off homer. Rolison has now allowed runs in three of his last five appearances, pushing his season line to a 4.38 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and a 13:6 K:BB across 12.1 innings.

Secures win Tuesday Rolison (3-0) worked around a walk to pitch a scoreless inning of relief and earn the win in Tuesday's 3-2, 10-inning victory over the Reds. He struck out two.

Impact Rolison was the last of five Chicago pitchers to enter the game, and he managed his third win already in just six relief appearances this year. The righty is pitching well with a 3.12 ERA and 10 strikeouts across 8.2 innings, but he's still fairly low in the Cubs' bullpen pecking order, and his fantasy value remains limited as a result.

Earns first 2026 win Rolison (1-0) tossed three scoreless innings of relief to earn the win in Friday's 6-4 victory over the Dodgers. He allowed two hits and struck out one.

Impact Rolison entered in the sixth inning with the Cubs down 4-0. The lefty pitched well enough to keep his team in the game, then picked up his first win with Chicago and second at the MLB level when the Cubs rallied with six runs across the final three frames. This was just the second appearance of the season for Rolison, who was called up from Triple-A Iowa on April 14. He appeared in 31 games for the Rockies last year, posting a 7.02 ERA across 42.1 innings.

APRIL 25 • ROTOWIRE

Called up from Triple-A The Cubs recalled Rolison from Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday, Tommy Birch of the Des Moines Register reports.

Impact It's unclear what the corresponding roster move will be, but with Matthew Boyd (biceps) expected back next week and Javier Assad struggling Monday versus the Phillies, it could be Assad being sent down. Rolison finished with a 7.02 ERA, 1.77 WHIP and 25:20 K:BB across 42.1 innings with the Rockies last season.

APRIL 14 • ROTOWIRE

Sent to Triple-A The Cubs optioned Rolison to Triple-A Iowa on Thursday.

Impact The left-hander was claimed off waivers by the Cubs in January, but he'll be cut from big-league camp after giving up seven runs over 4.1 innings during spring training. Rolison made his MLB debut with 31 appearances for Colorado last year and finished with a 7.02 ERA. 1.77 WHIP and 25:20 K:BB across 42.1 innings.

MARCH 12 • ROTOWIRE

Claimed by Cubs The Cubs claimed Rolison off waivers from the White Sox on Wednesday, Bruce Levine of 670TheScore.com reports.

Impact It's the fourth organization since November for Rolison, who posted a 7.02 ERA and 25:20 K:BB over 42.1 innings with the Rockies in 2025. The left-hander will compete for a spot in the Cubs' bullpen, but he does have minor-league options remaining.

Cleared from 40-man roster The White Sox designated Rolison for assignment Tuesday.

Impact The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for Sean Newcomb, who was signed Tuesday. Rolison was a waiver claim of the White Sox earlier this month and will now be up for grabs on waivers again. He held a 7.02 ERA and 25:20 K:BB over 42.1 innings with the Rockies in 2025.

DECEMBER 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Claimed by White Sox The White Sox claimed Rolison off waivers from Atlanta on Friday.

Impact Atlanta had designated Rolison for assignment Thursday and he's quickly been scooped up off waivers. The lefty held a 7.02 ERA and 25:20 K:BB over 42.1 innings with the Rockies in 2025. Rolison will compete for a role in the Opening Day bullpen, but he has minor-league options remaining, so the White Sox could send him to Triple-A Charlotte if he doesn't make the club.

Removed from 40-man roster Atlanta designated Rolison for assignment Thursday.

Impact The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Robert Suarez, who was signed to a three-year deal. Rolison was just acquired from Colorado for cash considerations last month after he had been removed from the Rockies' 40-man roster. He posted a 7.02 ERA and 25:20 K:BB over 42.1 innings in 2025.

Shipped to Atlanta Atlanta acquired Rolison from the Rockies on Wednesday in exchange for cash considerations.

Impact Rolison had been removed from the Rockies' 40-man roster Tuesday and is now headed to a new organization. The left-hander held an ugly 7.02 ERA and 25:20 K:BB over 42.1 innings for Colorado in 2025, but Atlanta believes it can coax more production out of the 2018 first-round pick.

NOVEMBER 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Removed from 40-man roster The Rockies designated Rolison for assignment Tuesday, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Impact Rolison was a first-round pick (22nd overall) in the 2018 First-Year Player Draft, but he hasn't been able to perform to that pedigree. The lefty had been buried in the minors until last season, when he got into 31 games with Colorado and pitched to an ugly 7.02 ERA and 1.77 WHIP over 42.1 innings. Rolison's 25:20 K:BB paints a pretty clear picture of how much he struggled to get big-league batters out, and the Rockies now appear set to move on.
