This will be the 31-year-old Civale's second tour with
pitching-depleted Chicago after splitting the 2025 season
between the Brewers, White Sox and Cubs. He's 5-7 with a 5.42
ERA in 16 games (15 starts) this season with the Athletics, who
designated him for assignment Wednesday.
Civale signed a one-year contract with the Athletics in
February. He had been claimed off waivers by the Cubs on Aug.
31, 2025.
The righty was 1-0 with one save and a 2.08 ERA in five relief
appearances over 13 innings with the Cubs during the remainder
of the 2025 regular season. He tossed 4 1/3 scoreless innings in
one relief outing in the postseason, against Milwaukee.
Civale is 48-51 with a 4.26 ERA over eight major league seasons
with six teams.
The Cubs pitching staff, especially their rotation, has been
raked by injuries. Cade Horton is out for the season (Tommy John
surgery), and Jameson Taillon (hamstring), Edward Cabrera
(hamstring/abductor) Ben Brown (neck) and Justin Steele (elbow)
remain sidelined.
Moffett, 22, is 1-2 with a 9.67 ERA and one save in 17 games in
relief for the Arizona Complex League Cubs and Single-A Myrtle
Beach this season.
