The Cubs added most of their trade deadline acquisitions to the active roster in a series of moves yesterday, but Mike Soroka was one guy left behind. No longer! The Cubs’ scheduled starter for Monday’s game against the Reds, Soroka, has been officially added to the Cubs’ active roster. And this time around, reclamation reliever Brooks Kriske is the sacrificial lamb.
Here’s the official move via Taylor McGregor:
#Cubs have designated Brooks Kriske for assignment. Michael Soroka added to the 40-man roster.
— Taylor McGregor (@Taylor_McGregor) August 2, 2025It’s hard not to feel bad for Kriske, the platonic definition of a journeyman, reclamation reliever, who has just had an impossible time catching on long-term with a big league team throughout his career, both here and overseas. But after six scoreless innings with the big league Cubs over two brief stints in the majors, he has been DFA’d.
HOWEVER, this is actually the second time the Cubs have DFA’d him this year. Kriske does not have any minor league options, so the Cubs can’t just send him back to Iowa. But if he clears waivers a second time, he can elect free agency, since he’s been outrighted to the Minors before. It’s just as possible, however, that he decides to stay with the Cubs if he thinks this is the best opportunity to get another chance to come back up at some point. I guess we’ll see.
