Overview

  • Chicago announced the minor-league contract with a non-roster invitation to big league spring training on January 18.
  • Borucki will compete with fellow lefties Brandon Eisert and Tyler Gilbert for relief roles, and a Triple-A assignment remains possible if he does not make the roster.
  • He recorded a 4.63 ERA over 35 innings in 2025 with the Pirates and Blue Jays and missed about six weeks with a back injury.
  • Left-handed batters hit .117 with a .379 OPS against him last season, while right-handed hitters batted .338 with four home runs.
  • Across 256 1/3 career innings he owns roughly a 4.1 ERA with 214 strikeouts, pairing a strong ground-ball profile with susceptibility to right-handers and homers.
