Latest news
The Cubs re-signed Wantz to a minor-league contract Thursday.
Wantz elected free agency earlier this week after being removed from the Cubs' 40-man roster, but he's returned to the organization on a new deal. The right-handed reliever has allowed six runs over 3.2 innings in the majors this season and holds a 5.88 ERA and 51:27 K:BB across 49 frames at the Triple-A level.

Wantz elected free agency Monday.
Wantz will assess his options on the open market after he went unclaimed off waivers upon being designated for assignment by the Cubs last Wednesday. The 30-year-old right-hander has made one appearance apiece at the big-league level for the Cubs and Rays this season, giving up six earned runs over 3.2 innings.

The Cubs designated Wantz for assignment on Wednesday.
The move corresponds with the Cubs selecting Jake Woodford's contract from Triple-A Iowa. Wantz made his second major-league appearance Tuesday against the Cardinals, against whom he allowed one run on three hits and one walk over two innings. If he clears waivers, Wantz will have the option of accepting an outright assignment to remain with the Cubs or explore opportunities as a free agent.

The Cubs selected Wantz's contract from Triple-A Iowa on Monday.
Wantz will provide the Chicago bullpen with a fresh arm capable of covering multiple frames after the Cubs needed three relievers to handle the final four innings of Sunday's 8-7 loss to the Pirates. The 30-year-old righty made one appearance in the big leagues with the Rays earlier in 2026 but has otherwise spent the entire season at the Triple-A level, where he's produced a 5.63 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and 49:26 K:BB over 48 innings.

Wantz signed a minor-league contract with the Cubs on Saturday.
Wantz will report to Triple-A Iowa with his new organization. Before electing free agency last week upon clearing waivers, Wantz was lit up for five earned runs over 1.2 innings in his lone relief appearance for the Rays and posted a 7.04 ERA, 1.78 WHIP and 23:11 K:BB across 23 innings with their Triple-A affiliate in Durham.

Wantz cleared waivers Tuesday and elected free agency, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Wantz was DFA'd by Tampa Bay after he gave up five earned runs in just 1.2 innings Saturday, and he'll now look to free agency for his next opportunity. The 30-year-old has also struggled in the minors this season, posting a 7.04 ERA and 1.78 WHIP through 23 innings at Triple-A Durham, so he will almost certainly have to settle for another minor-league deal.
