Moves back to bench role Brujan is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

Impact He made three starts over a five-game stretch prior to the return of Ronald Acuna from the IL, but Brujan has been stuck to the bench since. So long as Atlanta's regular outfield trio of Acuna, Michael Harris and Jurickson Profar remains healthy, Brujan will be in line for sporadic playing time.

Moves back to bench role Brujan is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

Impact Brujan made three starts over a five-game stretch from last Saturday through Thursday, but he wasn't included in the lineup at any point during the three-game series in Cleveland after Ronald Acuna (calf) made his return from the injured list. So long as Atlanta's regular outfield trio of Acuna, Michael Harris and Jurickson Profar remains healthy, Brujan will likely be in line for sporadic playing time.

Another start in right field Brujan will start in right field and bat seventh in Thursday's contest versus the Mets.

Impact A recent waiver claim, Brujan might have passed Eli White in the pecking order in right field, as he's now started three of the last five games overall and three of the last four against right-handed pitching. However, it could be a moot point, as Ronald Acuna (calf) is due back any day now. Brujan is 1-for-4 with a 1:4 K:BB in his first two games with Atlanta.

Braves recall rookie Waldrep while Marlins add Gusto as Game 1 starters in split doubleheader

The Atlanta Braves have recalled rookie right-hander Hurston Waldrep from Triple-A Gwinnett to start the first game of a split doubleheader against the Miami Marlins

Lands with Atlanta Atlanta claimed Brujan off outright waivers Friday.

Impact Brujan began the season with the Cubs before being DFA'd in late July. The Orioles claimed him off waivers Aug. 3, but he played in only one game with the club, notching a hit in his only at-bat. Brujan will now likely fill a role as a super utility man for Atlanta. He's logged time at every position on the field except for pitcher, catcher and first base this season.

Claimed by Baltimore The Orioles claimed Brujan off waivers from the Cubs on Sunday, Danielle Allentuck of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

Impact The 27-year-old was designated for assignment Wednesday and will now go back on the 40-man roster for a new organization in the Orioles, who shipped off a number of players ahead of the trade deadline. Brujan appeared in 36 games with Chicago this season and maintained a .222/.234/.289 slash line in 47 plate appearances. He's likely to fill a utility role for Baltimore.

Cubs' Ian Happ says he won't need IL stint after fouling a ball off his shin

Booted from 40-man roster The Cubs designated Brujan for assignment Wednesday, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact Brujan never found his niche with the Cubs, slashing only .222/.234/.289 in 36 games while playing sparingly. His versatility could be of interest to teams via waivers, but a career .192/.259/.271 batting line over parts of five seasons suggests expectations should be low.

Impact Brujan never found his niche with the Cubs, slashing only .222/.234/.289 in 36 games while playing sparingly. His versatility could make him an interesting waiver pickup for other teams, but a career .192/.259/.271 batting line over parts of five seasons in the majors suggests that expectations should be low.

Cubs' Happ leaves game after fouling ball off his shin and feeling lightheaded

Tallies three hits in loss Brujan went 3-for-4 in Friday's 12-5 loss to the White Sox.

Impact Brujan set a new season high in hits, surpassing the two hits he compiled against this same White Sox club back on May 18. The 27-year-old, who started at third base Friday, isn't seeing a ton of playing time, and his role might be reduced further if the Cubs acquire a reinforcement for the hot corner before the trade deadline.

Starting again Sunday Brujan is starting at second base and batting ninth in Sunday's game against the Mariners.

Impact Brujan isn't seeing a ton of playing time off the bench for the Cubs, though this will be his second straight start. The utility player started Saturday's contest at third base and will slide over to the keystone Sunday. Brujan isn't providing much offense with a .179 batting average and .457 OPS across 28 at-bats this season, and he can largely be avoided in most fantasy formats due to his middling production and role.

Starting again Sunday Brujan will start at second base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Mariners.

Impact Brujan isn't seeing regular playing time off the bench for the Cubs, though he'll get his second straight start Sunday. After replacing a resting Matt Shaw at third base in Saturday's 10-7 win and going 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored, Brujan will get a start out of the middle infield Sunday while Dansby Swanson receives a breather. Brujan isn't providing much offense with a .179 batting average and .457 OPS across 29 plate appearances this season.

Heading back to bench Brujan is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.

Impact Brujan went 3-for-7 with two RBI and a run while starting at third base in both of the Cubs' last two games, but both he and Jon Berti will be in store for more limited playing time at the hot corner moving forward after Chicago recalled Matt Shaw from Triple-A Iowa on Monday. Since returning from the injured list April 15, Brujan has logged just 17 total plate appearances in 16 games.

Returns from IL The Cubs reinstated Brujan (elbow) from the injured list Tuesday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Impact Brujan has been on the injured list all season due to a sprained right elbow. He began a rehab assignment Thursday, going 4-for-13 with a stolen base in three games at Triple-A Iowa. Now fully healthy, the 27-year-old will replace Matt Shaw on the active roster and give the Cubs additional depth at nearly every position.
