Ryan Rolison got the final out and was credited with the save against the Padres on Tuesday.

Rolison came in to retire Jackson Merrill for the final out and for his first save of his MLB career. As depleted — and ineffective — as the Cubs’ bullpen has been, it’s not impossible to envision another save chance or two from Rolison, but it certainly isn’t a guarantee nor something fantasy managers should be looking to bet on.

Tommy Birch of the Des Moines Register reports that the Cubs are promotion LHP Ryan Rolison from Triple-A Iowa.

Rolison and Luke Little will both get the chance to help the Chicago bullpen from the left side, according to Birch. The 28-year-old is a former first-round pick who has bounced around organizations since forging a 7.02 ERA with the Rockies.

Cubs claimed LHP Ryan Rolison off waivers from the White Sox.

So far this offseason, Rolison has been designated for assignment by the Rockies, traded to the Braves, designated for assignment by the Braves, claimed by the White Sox, designated for assignment by the White Sox, and claimed by the Cubs. That’s a busy couple of months. The 28-year-old Rolison posted a 7.02 ERA in 31 appearances for the Rockies in 2025.

White Sox designated LHP Ryan Rolison for assignment.

The White Sox just claimed Rolison off waivers from the Braves on December 12th, but they will now waive him to make room for newly signed Sean Newcomb. The 28-year-old Rolison posted a 7.02 ERA in 31 appearances for the Rockies in 2025 and will try to latch on with another team to get another crack at an MLB job.

White Sox claimed LHP Ryan Rolison off waivers from the Braves.

Rolison was designated for assignment by Atlanta on Thursday, and the claim happens just a day later. The former first-round pick will be at risk of hitting the waiver wire again if/when Chicago adds another player to the 40-man roster.

Braves designated LHP Ryan Rolison for assignment.

The Braves gave up some cash to acquire Rolison from the Rockies last month, but now he’s off the 40-man, probably to be claimed by another team. The 28-year-old hasn’t enjoyed any major league success, having posted a 7.02 ERA in 31 appearances for the Rockies, but it’s easy to imagine another team having more luck with him in relief.

Braves acquired LHP Ryan Rolison from the Rockies for cash considerations.

Rolison, 28, was DFA’d by the Rockies yesterday. A 2018 first-round pick, he reached the majors for the first time in 2025 and had a 7.02 ERA and a 25/20 K/BB in 42 1/3 innings out of the pen as a rookie. That’s obviously discouraging, but his velocity has jumped since his move to the pen, and he could wind up being useful by continuing to lean into his plus curve.

Rockies designated LHP Ryan Rolison for assignment.

Rolison’s time with the Rockies is over after he posted a disastrous 7.02 ERA across 42 1/3 innings over 31 appearances this past season. The 28-year-old former first-round pick will undoubtedly benefit from a change of scenery and there might be another organization out there willing to kick the tires here.
