Chicago Cubs DFA 4.76 ERA, former ROTY pitcher amid Shota Imanaga news
The Chicago Cubs are set to see the return of Shota Imanaga on Thursday night against the St. Louis Cardinals. It’s the first outing for Imanaga since May 4, when the right-handed starting pitcher suffered a hamstring injury.
Imanaga will enter Thursday night’s game with an ERA of 2.82 through 44.2 innings pitched in eight starts.
With a spot needing to be opened for Imanaga, the Cubs faced a decision as to which pitcher they’d need to DFA or send down to Iowa.

Michael Fulmer’s second stint with the Cubs
Fulmer, a 2016 rookie of the year with the Detroit Tigers, started the season with the Boston Red Sox before they DFA’d him in April after he surrendered three runs in four hits against the Tampa Bay Devil Rays.
The Cubs signed Fulmer to a minor league contract on April 22. Chicago called him up on Monday when they optioned Nate Pearson to Iowa. Fulmer, 32, gave up two hits in 2.0 innings pitched against the Cardinals on Monday night. He allowed no hits and earned a strikeout in one inning pitched during Wednesday night’s 8-0 win over the Cardinals.
Fulmer has a 4.76 ERA on the season.
This will conclude Fulmer’s second stint with the Cubs. He appeared in 58 games in 2023 when he earned a 4.42 ERA in 57.0 innings pitched.
