Brothers was outrighted to Triple-A Iowa on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Brothers was included on the Cubs' Opening Day roster in 2020, but he spent most of the season at the alternate training site. The southpaw made three relief appearances in the majors last year, allowing three runs on two hits and three walks while striking out eight over 3.1 innings. Infielder Max Schrock was claimed off waivers in a corresponding move.
