"In 13 starts on the Southside this season, Civale had a 5.37 ERA. He was sent to the White Sox from the Milwaukee Brewers for Andrew Vaughn. The first baseman has been crushing it for the first-place Crew. At the 2024 trade deadline, he was dealt from the Tampa Bay Rays to Milwaukee. The Cubs hope that Civale can pick up some bulk innings in September and does not have to be relied on come the postseason."
"Civale was released by the White Sox after a dreadful run with the club. It continues a horrid season on the Southside, but it is still better than 2024. They have already eclipsed their 2024 win total of 41, but are in the basement of the American League. The Cubs look to finish off a sweep of the Colorado Rockies on Sunday afternoon."
The Chicago Cubs claimed Aaron Civale off waivers from the Chicago White Sox. Civale struggled to a 5.37 ERA in 13 starts with the White Sox after being traded from the Milwaukee Brewers for Andrew Vaughn. Cubs expect Civale to provide bulk innings in September and avoid heavy postseason reliance. Civale has performed poorly since leaving the Cleveland Guardians in 2023 and was released by the White Sox following a difficult run. Chicago aims to rest starters down the stretch while pursuing the National League Central lead and maintaining postseason positioning. The team faces the Rockies, then a six-game home stand against Atlanta and Washington.
