The Cincinnati Reds have acquired right-handed pitcher Luke Farrell from the Chicago Cubs via a waiver claim. Farrell was placed on waivers earlier this week when the Cubs activated former Red Wade Miley from the 60-day injured list and needed to create a roster spot.

Luke Farrell will be coming back to Cincinnati. He pitched for the Reds in the 2017 season, posting a 2.61 ERA in nine games where he threw 10.1 innings for the club. Cincinnati designated him for assignment when the season ended the the Cubs claimed him. He’s been put on waivers multiple times since then and spent time with the Los Angeles Angels, Texas Rangers, and Minnesota Twins since 2017, and prior to joining the Reds in 2017 he was with the Kansas City Royals.
