Jake Woodford’s Cubs tenure is officially over—he’s a free agent after being designated for assignment, choosing not to go to the minors. His lone appearance this season was a scoreless inning against the Dodgers, and with a career ERA over seven and mostly mop-up duty, his time in Chicago has run its course. To make room for new acquisitions Tyrone Taylor (from Mets) and Ryan Zeferjahn (from Angels), the Cubs sent outfielder Kevin Alcántara down. Taylor debuts tonight as a right-handed bat, while Zeferjahn brings elite strikeout potential to the bullpen. Woodford’s future lies elsewhere as he clears waivers and seeks his next opportunity.
