The Chicago Cubs signed pitcher Chris Flexen, aiming to bolster their injury-depleted rotation.

The Chicago Cubs signed veteran pitcher Chris Flexen to a minor league deal. Flexen, 30, pitched 160 innings for the White Sox last season but struggled with a 4.95 ERA. His addition provides depth to the Cubs' rotation, which has been hit by injuries. Despite last year's performance, Flexen has shown solid pitching in the past, including a 3.66 ERA with the Mariners from 2021-2022. The deal is pending a physical, and Flexen will compete for a roster spot in spring training.
