Yacksel Ríos returned to the majors after surgeries, showcasing impressive fastball velocity but faces uncertainty on the Cubs' active roster.
Ríos is a 32-year-old righty who has logged parts of six seasons in the majors. The Puerto Rico native got the majority of his work early in his career as a member of the Phillies. He saw more limited action with the Pirates, Mariners, Red Sox and Athletics between 2019-23. Ríos has spent the last two seasons in the Mets organization without getting a look at the MLB level.
