Beginning rehab assignment Brujan (elbow) has been cleared to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Iowa, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact Brujan had a setback with his right elbow sprain last week, but apparently he bounced back quickly. It's not clear how many rehab games Brujan will need before being activated. Once he's ready, he will fill a utility role for the Cubs.

Impact Throwing in particular remains an issue for Brujan. It's not clear whether he will be shut down for a bit or just limited, but either way the utility player is not close to being activated from the 10-day injured list.

Lands on IL with elbow issue The Cubs placed Brujan on the 10-day injured list Tuesday due to a right elbow sprain.

Impact Brujan sustained the injury over the weekend, when he attempted to make a defensive play. He'll be eligible to come off the IL next Wednesday, though it's unclear if he'll be ready to play by then. Once activated, Brujan is projected to fill a utility role for the Cubs.

Elbow issue could force IL stint Brujan could need a stint on the 10-day injured list due to a right elbow injury, Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic reports.

Impact Brujan banged the elbow against the wall while trying to make a catch over the weekend and the issue has lingered. When healthy, Brujan will serve in a utility role with the Cubs.

Could get squeezed Brujan may get bumped off of Chicago's roster once Nico Hoerner (forearm) is able to return, Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic reports.

Impact Sharma notes that Brujan or Gage Workman are the two players most likely to be impacted by Hoerner's return, and he gives the slight edge to Workman, who would have to be returned to Detroit as a Rule 5 pick if he gets pushed off the MLB roster. Brujan is out of minor-league options himself, so he would need to be designated for assignment in that scenario. Hoerner appears to be nearing his return in time for the domestic season opener or soon after, so Chicago will have to make a decision in the near future.

Makes initial roster Brujan will travel with the Cubs for their two-game series against the Dodgers in Tokyo on March 18 and 19, Jesse Friedman of MLB.com reports.

Impact Brujan will serve as infield depth in Tokyo with Nico Hoerner (forearm) not making the trip. Rule 5 draft pick Gage Workman also made the roster. Hoerner's eventual return could squeeze both players out of the picture, but for the time being, Brujan may have some elevated fantasy value. He's likely to see time at second base along with Jon Berti, while Workman will also be in the mix. All three players could also see time at third, though top prospect Matt Shaw is seemingly the top option there.

Plans to steal more bases Brujan plans to be more aggressive in stealing bases this season with the Cubs, mmm reports.

Impact Brujan stole only five bases and was caught six times in 2024 in his lone season in Miami, and he said the Marlins "didn't give me the green light that I needed." Following an offseason trade to the Cubs, the 27-year-old decided that he's "going to be myself" and "going to steal bases." Brujan was a prolific base stealer in the minors and his sprint speed was in the 91st percentile in his rookie season with the Rays back in 2021. However, he went only 9-for-17 in stolen base attempts over 99 games across three seasons with Tampa Bay, and last year with the Marlins his sprint speed was down in the 53rd percentile. Brujan is already 4-for-4 on stolen base attempts this spring, so he's held true to his word so far, and he's also posted a 1.042 OPS. That said, if the career .189/.261/.270 hitter doesn't improve at the plate, his intentions on the bases could be irrelevant. Brujan is aiming to win a utility role with Chicago this season.

Potential injury replacement With Nico Hoerner (forearm) set to miss the Cubs' two-game, season-opening series in Tokyo, Brujan is an option to see more time at second base, Jesse Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Impact Brujan and Jon Berti are both options to fill in for Hoerner, who is recovering from October flexor tendon surgery. The Cubs play the Dodgers in Tokyo on March 18 and 19, then head back to the United States to resume regular season play later in the month. Hoerner may be ready by that time, which would push Brujan and Berti back to bench roles.

Hits first spring home run Brujan went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's Cactus League game against the Diamondbacks.

Impact Brujan connected for his first home run of the spring in the fifth inning and also split time in the field at second base and shortstop. The 27-year-old was shipped to Chicago from Miami in December, and he figures to serve in a bench role with the Cubs, giving him a limited fantasy ceiling for the time being.
