  • Cubs' Cory Mazzoni: Sent outright to Iowa

    Mazzoni was outrighted to Triple-A Iowa on Monday, Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Mazzoni will report back to the Iowa Cubs after passing through waivers untouched over the weekend. The 28-year-old owns a shiny 1.04 ERA across 8.2 innings with the Cubs this year, though his 4.46 ERA across 38.1 innings with Triple-A Iowa is more likely a true indicator of his skill level.

  • Cubs' Cory Mazzoni: Designated for assignment

    Mazzoni was designated for assignment by the Cubs on Thursday.

    Mazzoni was cast off the 40-man roster in order to make room for the recently-acquired Bobby Wilson, who was traded to the club from Minnesota for Chris Gimenez on Thursday. In eight appearances with the big-league team this year, Mazzoni has logged a 1.04 ERA but failed to display any signs of effectiveness during brief stints with the Padres the past few seasons.

    Mazzoni was optioned to Triple-A Iowa on Sunday, Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    With the Cubs officially adding the newly acquired Cole Hamels to the active roster, Mazzoni was the chosen casualty. Mazzoni's stay with the big club lasted all of one day, with the right-hander tossing a scoreless inning in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Cardinals.

  • Cubs' Cory Mazzoni: Recalled from Iowa

    Mazzoni was called up from Triple-A Iowa on Saturday, Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    The Cubs will likely use Mazzoni only in low-leverage situations. Across seven appearances for Chicago earlier this year, he's logged a 1.17 ERA and 1.30 WHIP with five strikeouts in 7.2 innings of relief. In a corresponding move, Alec Mills was sent back down to Iowa after pitching two innings Friday.

  • Cubs' Cory Mazzoni: Called up Sunday

    Mazzoni was recalled from Triple-A Iowa on Sunday, Alyson Footer of MLB.com reports.

    With Luke Farrell getting optioned down to Iowa and Rob Zastryzny (back) ending up on the 10-day disabled list, the Cubs needed some bullpen depth to wrap up their weekend series with the Reds.

  • Cubs' Cory Mazzoni: Shuttled back to minors

    Mazzoni was optioned to Triple-A Iowa on Monday, Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Mazzoni tossed two innings during Sunday's loss to the Pirates -- allowing one run on two hits and two walks while striking out one -- so the Cubs will shuttle him back to the minors in exchange for a fresh bullpen arm (Anthony Bass). The 28-year-old, who hadn't allowed a run prior to Sunday's outing, now owns a solid 1.17 ERA across 7.2 big-league frames. He should continue to jump between Iowa and the majors as bullpen help is needed.

  • Cubs' Cory Mazzoni: Recalled from Triple-A

    Mazzoni was recalled from Triple-A Iowa on Wednesday, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.

    Carl Edwards was placed on the disabled list with shoulder inflammation, so the Cubs needed a fresh arm for the bullpen. Mazzoni has logged 17.2 MLB innings over the last four seasons, giving up a whopping 32 earned runs over that span. He has a 1.25 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 22 strikeouts in 21.2 innings at Triple-A this season.

  • Cubs' Cory Mazzoni: Sent back to Triple-A

    Mazzoni was sent down to Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday, Carrie Muskat of MLB.com reports.

  • Cubs' Cory Mazzoni: Joins big club Monday

    Mazzoni was recalled from Triple-A Iowa on Monday, Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Mazzoni will join the Cubs for the first time all season in order to provide a fresh bullpen arm after manager Joe Maddon burned through seven relievers during Sunday's extra-innings loss to the Cardinals. The 28-year-old owns a solid 2.31 ERA and 12:1 K:BB through 11.2 innings with Triple-A Iowa this season, but his ugly numbers at the major-league level (32 earned runs across 16.2 innings) will likely limit him to low-leverage work during his time with Chicago. Luke Farrell was optioned to Iowa in a corresponding move.

  • Cubs' Cory Mazzoni: Picked back up by Cubs

    Mazzoni was re-claimed by the Cubs on Thursday, Chris Cotillo of SB Nation reports.

  • Cubs' Cory Mazzoni: Claimed by Dodgers

    Mazzoni was claimed by the Dodgers on Tuesday.

    Mazzoni will open the season with Triple-A Oklahoma City. The 28-year-old has pitched 16.2 major-league innings in his career, all with the Padres, recording an ugly 17.28 ERA. He impressed in 20.1 innings for Triple-A El Paso last season, though, striking out 37.8 percent of batters and walking 3.7 percent en route to a 0.89 ERA. He'll serve as organizational depth for the Dodgers this season. In a corresponding move, outfielder Trayce Thompson has been designated for assignment.

  • Cubs' Cory Mazzoni: Optioned to Triple-A

    Mazzoni was optioned to Triple-A Iowa by the Cubs on Tuesday, Carrie Muskat of MLB.com reports.

    Mazzoni struggled with a 13.50 ERA and 2.63 WHIP in six appearances with the Padres in 2017 before being claimed off waivers by the Cubs in November. The 28-year-old had a stellar 0.89 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 31 strikeouts at Triple-A El Paso last season, numbers that if repeated could earn him another big-league opportunity in 2018.

  • Cubs' Cory Mazzoni: Claimed by Cubs

    Mazzoni was claimed off waivers by the Cubs on Monday.

    Mazzoni was stellar for Triple-A El Paso last season -- compiling a 0.89 ERA and 31:3 K:BB across 20.1 innings -- but his success failed to carry over to the majors. The 28-year-old posted a 13.50 ERA, 2.63 WHIP and 4:4 K:BB across eight major-league innings. He'll likely serve as organizational pitching depth in 2018.

  • Padres' Cory Mazzoni: Added to big-league roster

    Mazzoni was called up from Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.

    With Carter Capps (blood clot) moved to the 60-day DL, Mazzoni will come up to take his spot in the Padres' bullpen. He turned in a strong season with El Paso after being designated for assignment in April, posting an 0.89 ERA and 1.03 WHIP over 20.1 innings, but Mazzoni won't pitch meaningful innings.

  • Padres' Cory Mazzoni: Designated for assignment

    Mazzoni was designated for assignment by the Padres on Tuesday.

    The right-hander failed to make the roster out of camp after battling a shoulder injury late last season. He made two appearances with Triple-A El Paso to begin the year, but has not pitched in a game since April 13. It's uncertain if there's something wrong with Mazzoni, physically, but he figures to pass through waivers unclaimed regardless.

  • Padres' Cory Mazzoni: Optioned to Triple-A on Monday

    Mazzoni was optioned to Triple-A El Paso on Monday, Jeff Sanders of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

    Mazzoni was competing for a bullpen spot with the Padres, but after allowing a .357 BAA and giving up four runs (three earned) in 4.1 innings pitched, he'll head back to Triple-A to develop a bit more. There is a good chance that he could reappear with the Padres at some point this season if he can improve against upper-level hitters, though, as he did reach the majors for a brief time last season.
