Chicago Cubs claim Ben Cowles (again), move off-season addition to 60-Day IL
The Chicago Cubs are, of course, are still piecing together the pieces that will make up the Major League and minor league rosters in 2026. Earlier this off-season, they took one of their valuable organizational infield depth pieces, Ben Cowles, and placed him on waivers. Doing so allowed them to sign veteran relief pitcher Shelby Miller and add him to their 40-man roster.
Cowles, meanwhile, was claimed off of waivers by the Toronto Blue Jays. He even played several Spring Training games for them. However, they too placed him on waivers, not wanting to keep him on their 40-man roster either.
And so, in a weird twist of fate, Cowles is by with the Cubs.
The Chicago Cubs have claimed Ben Cowles again
Per the team’s transaction wire, the Cubs have, once again, claimed Cowles off of waivers, this time from the Blue Jays. They first acquired him via trade with the New York Yankees in 2024.
In September of last year, the Chicago White Sox claimed Cowles after the Cubs placed him on waivers. He finished the 2025 season with the White Sox organization, but was claimed again by the Cubs in January of this year.
Toronto claimed Cowles when Chicago placed him on waivers to make room for Miller.
While the utility infielder is back with the Cubs, Miller is heading to the 60-day injured list as he recovers from Tommy John surgery. He is expected to miss the entire 2026 MLB season.
Cowles, meanwhile, is certainly going to be hoping he can crack the Major League roster. If he does not, the Cubs will almost certainly place him on waivers again. If he clears, they can outright him to Triple-A, which is probably what they would like to see happen.
