Availability
The Cubs signed LHP Aaron Bummer to a minor league contract.
Fantasy Impact
Bummer was released by the Braves last week. He will add pitching depth in the Cubs organization.
Aaron Bummer was released by the Braves on Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact
Bummer has really struggled with consistency over the past month, and he hit rock bottom Monday night. The veteran lefty issued five walks and was tagged for six earned runs in just one inning during a blowout loss to the Marlins. The Braves will eat a substantial amount of money remaining in the final year of Bummer's three-year contract. Dylan Dodd has been added to the bullpen in a corresponding move.
Aaron Bummer has begun throwing on flat ground.
Fantasy Impact
Although Bummer has begun a throwing program, he has yet to throw off a mound and is not expected to return this season.
The Braves placed LHP Aaron Bummer on the 15-day injured list with left shoulder inflammation.
Fantasy Impact
Bummer will miss at least the next couple of weeks. Hunter Stratton was recalled as the corresponding move.
Aaron Bummer will open Saturday's bullpen game for the Braves against the Orioles.
Fantasy Impact
Bummer figures to pitch the first inning or two before giving the ball to a bulk reliever.
