Cubs sent RHP Jake Woodford outright to Triple-A Iowa.

Woodford went unclaimed on waivers after being designated for assignment last weekend. The 29-year-old righty allowed three runs over two innings during his lone relief appearance for the Cubs. He’s posted an inflated 7.46 ERA across 25 1/3 innings over 17 appearances between the Cubs and Brewers this season.

Cubs signed RHP Jake Woodford to a one-year contract.

Woodford opted out of his deal with the Brewers earlier in the month, and the 29-year-old finds an MLB deal not long after. He’ll get a chance to help the Cubs’ pitching staff as a potential multi-inning bullpen option in the middle frames.

Brewers re-signed RHP Jake Woodford to a minor league contract.

Woodford is back with Milwaukee after spending a few hours on the open market. The well-traveled 29-year-old posted a serviceable 6.94 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and 20/7 K/BB ratio across 23 1/3 innings with the Brewers before being designated for assignment last Friday.

Brewers RHP Jake Woodford elected free agency.

Woodford hits the free agent pool after passing through waivers unclaimed following his removal from Milwaukee’s roster mix. The 29-year-old journeyman posted an underwhelming 6.94 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and 20/7 K/BB ratio across 23 1/3 innings during his time with the Brewers. He should be able to latch on somewhere else as emergency relief depth.

Brewers designated RHP Jake Woodford for assignment.

The Brewers needed to free up a spot on their roster on Friday and unfortunately for the 29-year-old hurler, he wound up on the outside looking in. Woodford made 16 appearances during his time with the Brewers, posting a disappointing 6.94 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and a 20/7 K/BB ratio over 23 1/3 innings. While good pitching depth is hard to come by, there’s a chance that he could slide through waivers unclaimed.

Brewers acquired RHP Jake Woodford from the Rays for RHP prospect K.C. Hunt.

Woodford was with the Rays as a non-roster invitee to spring training and did not make the Opening Day roster, so the Brewers swooped in before he was released. Woodford has some experience as a starter, but he made 22 appearances out of the bullpen for the Cardinals in 2025. He has a career 5.10 ERA in 256 MLB innings, so he could just be some healthy insurance for a Brewers staff that is dealing with a few injuries.

Rays signed RHP Jake Woodford to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

Woodford had a rough season with the Diamondbacks in 2025, posting a 6.44 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and a 23/13 K/BB ratio across 36 1/3 innings. Given their history, if the Rays are taking a flier on him, there’s a decent chance that he winds up being a viable bullpen arm for them at some point during the 2026 season.
