Nance was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Marlins claimed Nance off waivers Sunday, after he was designated for assignment by the Cubs. He made his major-league debut in 2021, and despite a disastrous 7.22 ERA, Nance showed some promising skills by racking up 30 strikeouts across 28.2 innings. Though he'll now begin the season at Triple-A Jacksonville, Nance will likely contribute out of Miami's bullpen at some point during the season.

Nance was claimed off waivers by the Marlins on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Nance was designated for assignment by the Cubs on Thursday after he posted a 7.22 ERA and 1.33 WHIP in 28.2 innings across 27 relief appearances for the major-league club last year. He should have a chance to compete for a spot in the Marlins' bullpen with a week and a half remaining until Opening Day.

Nance was activated from the COVID-19 injured list and designated for assignment Friday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nance hit the COVID-19 injured list early in camp and won't have a 40-man roster spot to return to now that he's available again. As a 31-year-old with a 7.22 ERA in just 28.2 career major-league innings, he's far from a lock to get claimed off waivers.

Nance was placed on the COVID-19 injured list Saturday, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nance actually ended last season on the same injured list. It's unclear if he's caught the virus himself this time around or if he's sidelined due to contract tracing.

Nance was placed on the COVID-19 injured list Saturday, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nance joins a lengthy list of Cubs who have landed on the COVID-19 injured list late in the year, and it's not yet clear whether he's tested positive for the virus or whether he's considered a close contact. Right-hander Joe Biagini's contract was selected from Triple-A Iowa to take his place in the bullpen.

Nance was recalled by the Cubs on Friday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nance made his big-league debut at age 30 this season and has thrown 21.1 innings at the highest level. His 5.06 ERA is poor, but his 26.1 percent strikeout rate and 54.7 percent groundball rate are both encouraging numbers. He'll fill the bullpen spot that had belonged to Adam Morgan, who was placed on the bereavement list.

The Cubs optioned Nance to Triple-A Iowa on Friday, Gordon Wittenmyer of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

EDGE Analysis

The righty had a miserable outing Wednesday, yielding five runs in 1.2 innings. Nance hit two batters on top of a walk and a home run. After 12 consecutive scoreless appearances to start the season, he's now allowed at least a run in six of his last seven games. Kohl Stewart was recalled in a corresponding move.

The Cubs recalled Nance from Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The righty rejoins the big-league club just a day after being optioned. Nance was demoted for struggling in five of his last six appearances, but he'll be called upon to help fill the void left in Chicago's bullpen by Ryan Tepera (calf), whom the Cubs placed on the injured list Tuesday.

Nance was optioned to Triple-A Iowa on Monday, Tony Andracki of Marquee Sports Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nance tossed 11.1 scoreless innings across his first 12 appearances with the major-league club this year, but he posted a 9.53 ERA in 5.2 innings across his last four appearances. He'll attempt to sort things out in the minors after right-hander Trevor Megill was recalled in a corresponding move.

Nance (1-0) pitched two scoreless innings of relief and earned the win Friday against the Cardinals. He walked a batter and struck out two.

EDGE Analysis

The 30-year-old rookie has been good so far for the Cubs, as he has now gone 11.1 innings without allowing a run, and he's struck out 13. Friday's win in relief was also the first for Nance at the big-league level. Chicago's bullpen has featured a few surprising performers this season, and Nance is adding his name to that list. He should continue to see opportunities as long as he's pitching well.
