The Chicago Cubs secured a 3-2 win over the San Francisco Giants on Saturday to even their series, highlighting a notable roster development as the team announced the signing of Andrew Wantz, a right-handed pitcher, during the Giants series.
Wantz, a 30-year-old reliever with MLB experience, was acquired after spending four seasons with the Los Angeles Angels and a brief stint with the Tampa Bay Rays earlier this year. Drafted in the 7th round in 2018, Wantz posted a 5-1 record with a 3.88 ERA in 91 career appearances before joining the Cubs, who assigned him to the Iowa Cubs. The signing follows Wantz’s recent designation for assignment by the Rays and represents a potential depth boost for Chicago’s bullpen.
Key takeaways:
– Cubs tie the series with a 3-2 victory over the Giants.
– Andrew Wantz signs with the Cubs, adding experienced bullpen depth.
– Wantz previously played for the Angels and had a brief season with the Rays after being drafted in 2018.
