7 months agoPittsburgh Pirates general manager Ben Cherington reiterated that he is confident that left-hander
Ryan Borucki (triceps) will return this season. Borucki started a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Indianapolis on Aug. 17 and has made three appearances, allowing a run in three innings of work. He had his first rehab assignment shut down in July after feeling symptoms in his left forearm and elbow but started throwing again after receiving an injection in early August. The 30-year-old veteran reliever should be able to rejoin Pittsburgh's bullpen for the final month of the season, but he's completely off the fantasy radar. Borucki has only appeared in four games for the Bucs in relief in 2024 and has allowed two earned runs on four hits while walking none and striking out six batters in 3 1/3 innings.

2 years agoThe Chicago Cubs and left-handed pitcher
Ryan Borucki are reportedly "in agreement on a minor-league contract," according to a tweet from FanSided's Robert Murray on Wednesday morning. Murray tweeted the following: "Left-hander Ryan Borucki is in agreement on a minor-league contract with the Chicago Cubs, source said. Borucki, 28, posted a 4.26 ERA in 21 games with the Mariners last season after five years with the Blue Jays." A relief pitcher for each of the past three seasons, Borucki will provide the Cubs with some additional bullpen depth heading into next season. At the moment, the only left-handed bullpen options on Chicago's 40-man roster are
Brandon Hughes and
Anthony Kay.

3 years agoThe Seattle Mariners traded infielder
Tyler Keenan to Toronto Blue Jays for pitcher
Ryan Borucki. He was designated for assignment by the Blue Jays on Tuesday but ultimately was dealt to Seattle on Saturday. The 28-year-old owns a 9.95 ERA and 1.89 WHIP with eight strikeouts over 6 1/3 innings in 2022.
Mike Ford was designated for assignment by the Mariners in a corresponding move. Borucki doesn't have much fantasy value and is buried on the closer depth chart behind
Paul Sewald,
Andres Munoz,
Diego Castillo, and
Sergio Romo.
