Availability
Jeff Brigham has signed a minor league contract with the Chicago Cubs. The deal includes an invitation to Spring Training.
Fantasy Impact
Brigham has played parts of six big league seasons with the Marlins, Mets, and Diamondbacks. The righthander has a career ERA of 4.85 in 120.2 innings. He pitched four games for Arizona last season and had an 8.10 ERA in 3.1 innings. The Cubs have overhauled their bullpen this offseason so it may be difficult for Brigham, who is out of options, to break camp with Chicago.
The Arizona Diamondbacks released Jeff Brigham on Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact
After being designated for assignment and passing through waivers, Brigham is now a free agent and can sign with any organization. He posted an 8.10 ERA and 2.40 WHIP across 3.1 innings in the majors this season.
The Diamondbacks designated Jeff Brigham for assignment.
Fantasy Impact
Arizona recalled Juan Morillo as the corresponding move. Brigham will head to the waiver wire as a result.
The Arizona Diamondbacks will option Jeff Brigham to Triple-A Reno before Tuesday's game against the Seattle Mariners.
Fantasy Impact
Brigham had a very short and difficult outing Monday against the Mariners, unable to record an out and giving up three earned runs. With an 8.10 ERA on the season, he will now head to the minors to try and regain his form. In a corresponding transaction, Bryce Jarvis will be called up from Triple-A Reno.
The Diamondbacks are expected to promote right-hander Jeff Brigham from Triple-A Reno on Friday.
Fantasy Impact
Brigham is expected to take the bullpen spot of Kevin Ginkel. Despite his struggles in Triple-A, he'll add another fresh arm in the middle of the Diamondbacks bullpen.
