The Cardinals acquired Bruihl from the Guardians on Tuesday in exchange for cash considerations.
EDGE Analysis
Bruihl has bounced around from the Blue Jays to the Guardians and now to the Cardinals since mid-December. The left-handed reliever holds a career 4.72 ERA and 69:32 K:BB over 89.2 frames covering parts of five major-league seasons. Bruihl does not have minor-league options remaining, so he's a good bet to make the Opening Day roster if he's still with St. Louis in spring training.

The Guardians designated Bruihl for assignment Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Cleveland just acquired Bruihl from Toronto in exchange for cash considerations Wednesday, but it appears the Guardians no longer see the southpaw as part of the team's big-league bullpen after they signed fellow reliever Shawn Armstrong on Thursday. Bruihl may have to settle for a minor-league deal eventually, as he holds a career 4.72 ERA and 1.37 WHIP with a 69:32 K:BB over 89.2 innings across 94 games spanning parts of five campaigns.

The Guardians acquired Bruihl from the Blue Jays on Wednesday in exchange for cash considerations.
EDGE Analysis
Bruihl held a 5.27 ERA and 18:7 K:BB across 13.2 frames at the major-league level during the 2025 season. The left-handed reliever does not have minor-league options remaining, so he should have a good chance to crack the Guardians' Opening Day bullpen.

The Blue Jays designated Bruihl for assignment Monday.
EDGE Analysis
The transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster for Tyler Rogers, whose signing was officially announced Monday. Bruihl made 15 appearances out of Toronto's bullpen in 2025, collecting a 5.27 ERA and 18:7 K:BB across 13.2 frames. The southpaw has been outrighted previously, so he would have to approve an outright assignment by the Blue Jays.

The Blue Jays recalled Bruihl from Triple-A Buffalo on Friday, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bruihl will join the active roster for the final weekend of the regular season, replacing Paxton Schultz in the bullpen. The 28-year-old Bruihl has a 5.68 ERA in 12.2 innings with the Blue Jays this season. He has been with Buffalo since Aug. 30.

The Blue Jays optioned Bruihl to Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Bruihl struggled in his most recent outing, allowing two runs on three hits over one inning against Milwaukee on Friday, and he has now been sent down to Triple-A in a corresponding move to Easton Lucas' call-up. Bruihl could be back with Toronto later in the campaign if the team needs to fortify its lefty bullpen depth.

The Blue Jays recalled Bruihl from Triple-A Buffalo on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Bruihl has made 11 relief appearances for Toronto this season, yielding eight runs (six earned) with an 11:6 K:BB over 8.1 frames. The southpaw reliever will give manager John Schneider a fresh bullpen arm.

The Blue Jays optioned Bruihl to Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Bruihl was sent out to the minors to make room on the active roster for lefty Easton Lucas, who was called up from Triple-A to start the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Orioles. Following his promotion from Buffalo on July 8, Bruihl made seven relief appearances for Toronto and surrendered six runs (five earned) on 13 hits and four walks over five innings.

The Blue Jays recalled Bruihl from Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bruihl was optioned to Triple-A on Friday, but with Nick Sandlin (elbow) moving to the IL, the Jays will bring the former back into their big-league bullpen. Bruihl has given up one run in 3.1 innings over his four MLB outings this season and is likely ticketed for a middle-relief role while with Toronto.

The Blue Jays optioned Bruihl to Triple-A Buffalo on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Bruihl pitched a scoreless one-third of an inning to earn a hold in Thursday's win over the Yankees, bringing his ERA down to 2.70 in four appearances with the big club this season. The lefty will presumably be back in Toronto before the end of 2025, but for now he will make room for right-hander Lazaro Estrada, who can provide more length out of the bullpen.
