What is Jayden Murray's ERA and stats with the Cubs?
Murray was just added to the roster, so he hasn't yet pitched for the Cubs. With the Astros this season he posted a 7.43 ERA in 13.1 innings, though he dominated at Triple-A with a 1.17 ERA and 19 strikeouts in 15.2 innings before the trade.
What pitches does Jayden Murray throw?
Murray features five pitches but primarily relies on his fastball, which averages 95-96 mph, and pairs it with a sweeper.
Who did Jayden Murray replace on the Cubs roster?
Murray was placed on the 26-man roster by replacing right-handed pitcher Gavin Hollowell in the bullpen.
How many minor league option years does Jayden Murray have left?
Murray still has three minor league option years remaining, which gives the Cubs flexibility to keep him in the organization for a while if he becomes a positive presence in the bullpen.
