Signs minors deal with Cubs
Luetge signed a minor-league contract with the Cubs on Wednesday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Luetge opted out of his MiLB deal with the Red Sox on Saturday after posting a 3.02 ERA and 1.19 WHIP through 41.2 innings with Triple-A Worcester. He didn't have to wait long to find another gig, and he could potentially be added to the Cubs' bullpen down the stretch if he continues to perform well with Triple-A Iowa.

2012
Prior to 2021, Luetge (pronounced LIT-key) hadn't pitched in the majors since 2015 with Seattle. He signed plenty of minor-league contracts between then, but didn't latch on with any club until he forced the matter with a dominant stretch of Grapefruit League play last spring. Luetge made the Yankees' Opening Day roster and went on to log a career-high 72.1 innings. He endured a rough start last April, permitting at least one earned run in each of his first five outings, but he had a 2.18 ERA and 1.11 WHIP the rest of the way. The southpaw doesn't throw hard (88-mph), but was effective at limiting hard contact. He rarely walked anyone (1.9 BB/9) and kept the ball in the park (0.7 HR/9) en route to a 2.74 ERA and 1.13 WHIP. Luetge's ability to pitch multiple innings ultimately limited his number of high-leverage opportunities, but he could earn some in 2022 based off his recent performance.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Bigger role on tap?
Luetge could emerge with a more prominent role in the Yankees' bullpen with Zack Britton undergoing season-ending surgery and Jonathan Loaisiga also hitting the 10-day injured list in recent days.
ANALYSIS
Luetge has pitched well this season with a 2.84 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 72 strikeouts across 66.2 innings, and he may be the team's most reliable left-handed bullpen option at the moment with Andrew Heaney and Aroldis Chapman each struggling to some degree. This could translate into a bigger role for Luetge as the Yankees try to stay alive in the AL playoff chase, especially with Britton and Loaisiga out of the mix for the time being.
