| 8/27/24 | Cubs put Merryweather on IL with knee tendinitis. The Chicago Cubs placed right-handed reliever Julian Merryweather on the 15-day injured list Tuesday because of right knee tendinitis. In other moves, the Cubs optioned rookie right-hander Jack Neely to Triple-A Iowa and recalled righties Daniel Palencia and Keegan Thompson from Iowa. Merryweather last pitched Sunday, when he allowed four runs and five hits in one inning of Chicago's 7-2 road loss to the Miami Marlins.

| 7/23/24 | As the MLB trade deadline nears, a rolling Chicago Cubs bullpen could be forced to get a makeover. In some ways, Julian Merryweather felt he hadn’t missed too much time. The Chicago Cubs’ 32-year-old reliever had stayed in touch with his teammates, at first by staying around the team following the unusual rib stress fracture he sustained one week into the season. Once his symptoms went away after six weeks as expected and the rehab process started up, Merryweather continued to keep an eye ... Source: https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb-trade-deadline-nears-... |

| 7/09/24 | Forgotten Cubs pitching prospect inching closer to Major League return. Help is on the way for the Chicago Cubs pitching staff but given their remaining schedule prior to the All-Star break, it may be too late. Before starting their game against the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday evening, the Cubs provided injury updates on several of their pitchers currently on the injured list. In hindsight, Julian Merryweather's injury proved to be a much bigger deal for the Cubs' bullpen than may have been anticipated when he first went down with a rib injury in April.

| 7/02/24 | Chicago Cubs could get a boost from impending return of multiple pitchers. As the Chicago Cubs kicked off their first series in July against the best team in the majors, pitching help is on its way. Right-handers Julian Merryweather (rib stress fracture), Ben Brown (neck) and Javier Assad (right forearm strain) and left-hander Jordan Wicks (right oblique strain) are trending toward returning after the All-Star break, which ends July 18, with varying days within that ...

| 4/26/24 | Chicago Cubs find bullpen depth from unlikely place. The Chicago Cubs have reportedly signed 28-year-old pitcher Daniel Missaki, a Brazilian-born player who most recently played with the Diablo Rojos in the Mexican League. It's an intriguing move that could provide some depth to a Cubs bullpen that has already taken a major blow with the loss of set-up man Julian Merryweather. Since Merryweather went down in early April, former closer Adbert Alzolay has struggled mightily in the ninth inning, having already surpassed his blown save mark from last year (3) in the first month of 2024. If the bullpen takes another hit via injury or poor performance, perhaps Nissaki can eventually slide in and try to prove himself in MLB again.

| 4/21/24 | 3 Early trade targets to bolster the Chicago Cubs' bullpen. The Chicago Cubs are performing generally well to start the year, with an overall record of 11-7 through their first 18 games. Julian Merryweather was just transferred to the 60-day IL while the other main set-up man Hector Neris has struggled out of the gate. Not to mention Adbert Alzolay hasn't been that sharp. After just three weeks, the Cubs' closer has already matched his 2023 marks in blown saves (3) and home runs allowed (3), meaning the Cubs may need to bring in somebody else for the ninth inning at some point this year.

| 4/10/24 | 3 relievers the Chicago Cubs should consider calling up for the bullpen. It's way too early in the season to be making proclamations about the Chicago Cubs, but there are already major concerns to be had. Despite a stellar offense that's been grinding out wins and a starting rotation that has enjoyed some strong performances despite injuries, the bullpen is a mess. Julian Merryweather is injured, Adbert Alzolay and Hector Neris haven't looked too sharp to start the year, and, save for Mark Leiter Jr., the rest either have question marks or bright red flags hanging over them. Heading into Tuesday night's game, the Cubs bullpen held a 5.12 ERA through 45 2/3 innings. Source: https://cubbiescrib.com/posts/3-relievers-the-chic... |

| 3/24/24 | Cubs' relievers plan to put to work lessons from last season's fade. Julian Merryweather and some of his Cubs bullpen mates learned the hard way about the rigors of a 162-game season. The bullpen, which helped carry the Cubs to playoff contention through a large chunk of the second half of last season, faded miserably in September, largely because of fatigue and injuries that became magnified during a stretch in which the team lost seven of eight games and lost Adbert Alzolay, Mark Leiter Jr. and Michael Fulmer to injuries. Alzolay, Leiter and Merryweather return with the determination to remain healthy and effective through an entire season and help the Cubs attain the National League playoff berth that seemed a lock last season until their late swoon.

| 9/18/23 | Why Cubs' David Ross dubbed reliever Julian Merryweather the 'unsung MVP' of the team. When Julian Merryweather jogged out of Chase Field's visitors bullpen on Saturday, he was facing the Diamondbacks for the fourth time in nine days. “He is probably the unsung MVP of our team,” manager David Ross said this weekend. “When we locked things in, his success, him holding down that seventh inning really transitioned us to set a lot of guys up in roles that have really helped.” Merryweather seized that seventh-inning role in June, with splitter-tossing Mark Leiter Jr. both serving as a setup man and solution to the Cubs' lefty matchup equation, and Adbert Alzolay emerging as the closer.

| 7/19/23 | For Chicago Cubs reliever Julian Merryweather, locked-in mechanics and health has been a consistency game changer. Staying healthy has been a challenge at times for right-hander Julian Merryweather. The Chicago Cubs' reliever always possessed electric stuff, but his inconsistencies often stemmed from unreliable mechanics and struggles to stay off the injured list. Both areas have come together as Merryweather and the Cubs hoped when the organization claimed him off waivers from the Toronto Blue Jays in January. “Staying within my delivery, my mechanics have had ups and downs this year, but I feel like when my mechanics are right everything comes from there,” Merryweather told the Tribune on Tuesday before the Cubs took a 17-3 victory over the Washington Nationals.
