The Chicago Cubs lost 2-1 to the San Francisco Giants at Wrigley Field to wrap up the series, then head into a brief break before kicking off a road series against the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday night in Denver. Ahead of that matchup, the Cubs claimed Eduarniel Núñez off waivers from the Baltimore Orioles, adding a 27-year-old reliever to the roster. Núñez did not appear in a game for Baltimore, and his acquisition was confirmed by ESPN’s Jesse Rogers, noting that he was designated for assignment prior to being claimed.
Key takeaways:
– Cubs drop a close game (2-1) to Giants at Wrigley, followed by an off day before visiting the Rockies.
– Eduarniel Núñez, a 27-year-old reliever, was claimed off waivers from Baltimore and joins the Cubs’ bullpen.
– Núñez has yet to appear in MLB action for Baltimore, with his arrival representing a notable bullpen depth addition for the Cubs.
