Phegley signed a minor-league contract with the Cubs on Friday, Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Phegley will add organizational depth for the Cubs behind the dish, something that became a priority after Willson Contreras went down with an injury last season. Phegley appeared in 106 games last year for Oakland, hitting .239 with 12 home runs and 62 RBI.

Phegley was non-tendered by Oakland on Monday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Phegley will head to free agency after slashing .239/.282/.411 with 12 home runs and 62 RBI over 106 games for the Athletics in 2019.

Phegley is not in the starting lineup for the American League Wild Card Game against the Rays on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Phegley split time with rookie Sean Murphy over the season, so it isn't surprising to see Murphy get the nod Wednesday, especially given Phegley's .190 on-base percentage in his 13 games in September. Murphy will bat ninth while handling the catching duties.

Phegley went 2-for-4 with a pair of RBI singles, a walk and a run in a win over the Rangers on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The backstop made his share of noise out of the bottom of the order in the big win, posting his first multi-hit outing since Aug. 26. Phegley has lost occasional playing time to rookie Sean Murphy in September, which may be playing a part in his struggles at the plate thus far this month. Even factoring in Saturday's strong effort, Phegley is hitting just .188 (6-for-32) since the calendar flipped from August, although he does have nine RBI thanks to some timely hitting.

Phegley went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 8-6 win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Phegley cranked his go-ahead homer in the fourth inning off Rangers starter Mike Minor. The catcher is up to 12 homers, 59 RBI and 43 runs scored in a career-high 101 games this season. He has struggled in September, going 4-for-26 with two homers, six RBI and three runs scored in eight games while losing time behind the dish to Sean Murphy.

Phegley will sit Friday against Texas.

EDGE Analysis

Phegley hits the bench for the third time in four games. Rookie Sean Murphy will get another start behind the plate.

Phegley will sit again Wednesday in Houston.

EDGE Analysis

Phegley had been slightly ahead of Sean Murphy on the depth chart behind the plate in Oakland. Murphy gets his second straight start following his two-homer night Tuesday.

Phegley isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against Houston, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Phegley will head to the bench for the second game of the series, opening the door for Sean Murphy to draw the start behind the dish and hit eighth.

Phegley is not starting Saturday against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Phegley has carried a heavy load lately, starting 13 of 18 games prior to Saturday's contest. Sean Murphy will start behind the plate in his absence.

Phegley went 1-for-2 with a two-run double, a walk and a run in an extra-innings loss to the Tigers on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Phegley was productive once again in the loss, churning out multiple RBI for the second straight game courtesy of a timely two-bagger in the first. The backstop is coming off an August during which he hit an impressive .314, and the five runs he's already driven in over his first four games of September have pushed his career-best RBI total to 57.
