Report: Cubs place veteran pitcher Drew Smyly on waivers


Tony Crumpton Tony Crumpton - Senior Editor -

The Chicago Cubs have placed veteran pitcher Drew Smyly on waivers according to a report by USA Today's Bob Nightengale.

The Cubs have not yet confirmed this.

Smyly has been impressive this season with the Cubs out of the bullpen, posting a 2.84 ERA and 1.18 WHIP with 43 strikeouts over 50.2 innings in 39 appearances.

Some contending team will likely scoop him for their playoff run.

He is owed $1.9 million for the rest of the season and a $2.5 million buyout on a mutual option for 2025.
