Braves' Vidal Brujan: Moves back to bench role
Brujan is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.
He made three starts over a five-game stretch prior to the return of Ronald Acuna from the IL, but Brujan has been stuck to the bench since. So long as Atlanta's regular outfield trio of Acuna, Michael Harris and Jurickson Profar remains healthy, Brujan will be in line for sporadic playing time.

Braves' Vidal Brujan: Another start in right field
Brujan will start in right field and bat seventh in Thursday's contest versus the Mets.
A recent waiver claim, Brujan might have passed Eli White in the pecking order in right field, as he's now started three of the last five games overall and three of the last four against right-handed pitching. However, it could be a moot point, as Ronald Acuna (calf) is due back any day now from the injured list. Brujan is 1-for-4 with a 1:4 K:BB in his first two games with Atlanta.

Braves' Vidal Brujan: Lands with Atlanta
Atlanta claimed Brujan off outright waivers Friday.
Brujan began the season with the Cubs before being DFA'd in late July. The Orioles claimed him off waivers Aug. 3, but he played in only one game with the club, notching a hit in his only at-bat. Brujan will now likely fill a utility role for an Atlanta roster that could use help at third base while Austin Riley (abdomen) is unavailable. Brujan's logged time at every position on the field except for pitcher, catcher and first base this season.

Orioles' Vidal Brujan: Claimed by Baltimore
The Orioles claimed Brujan off waivers from the Cubs on Sunday, Danielle Allentuck of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
The 27-year-old was designated for assignment Wednesday and will now go back on the 40-man roster for a new organization in the Orioles, who shipped off a number of players ahead of the trade deadline. Brujan appeared in 36 games with Chicago this season and maintained a .222/.234/.289 slash line in 47 plate appearances. He's likely to fill a utility role for Baltimore.

Cubs' Vidal Brujan: Booted from 40-man roster
The Cubs designated Brujan for assignment Wednesday, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Brujan never found his niche with the Cubs, slashing only .222/.234/.289 in 36 games while playing sparingly. His versatility could make him an interesting waiver pickup for other teams, but a career .192/.259/.271 batting line over parts of five seasons in the majors suggests that expectations should be low.

Cubs' Vidal Brujan: Tallies three hits in loss
Brujan went 3-for-4 in Friday's 12-5 loss to the White Sox.
Brujan set a new season high in hits, surpassing the two hits he compiled against this same White Sox club back on May 18. The 27-year-old, who started at third base Friday, isn't seeing a ton of playing time, and his role might be reduced further if the Cubs acquire a reinforcement for the hot corner before the trade deadline.

Cubs' Vidal Brujan: Starting again Sunday
Brujan will start at second base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Mariners.
Brujan isn't seeing regular playing time off the bench for the Cubs, though he'll get his second straight start Sunday. After replacing a resting Matt Shaw at third base in Saturday's 10-7 win and going 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored, Brujan will get a start out of the middle infield Sunday while Dansby Swanson receives a breather. Brujan isn't providing much offense with a .179 batting average and .457 OPS across 29 plate appearances this season.

Cubs' Vidal Brujan: Heading back to bench
Brujan is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.
Brujan went 3-for-7 with two RBI and a run while starting at third base in both of the Cubs' last two games, but both he and Jon Berti will be in store for more limited playing time at the hot corner moving forward after Chicago recalled Matt Shaw from Triple-A Iowa on Monday. Since returning from the injured list April 15, Brujan has logged just 17 total plate appearances in 16 games.

Cubs' Vidal Brujan: Returns from IL
The Cubs reinstated Brujan (elbow) from the injured list Tuesday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.
Brujan has been on the injured list all season due to a sprained right elbow. He began a rehab assignment Thursday, going 4-for-13 with a stolen base in three games at Triple-A Iowa. Now fully healthy, the 27-year-old will replace Matt Shaw on the active roster and give the Cubs additional depth at nearly every position.

Cubs' Vidal Brujan: Beginning rehab assignment
Brujan (elbow) was cleared to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Iowa on Wednesday, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Brujan had a setback with his right elbow sprain last week, but he apparently bounced back quickly. It's not clear how many rehab games Brujan will need before being activated from the 10-day injured list. Once he's ready, he will fill a utility role for the Cubs.

Cubs' Vidal Brujan: Recovery stalled
Brujan's recovery from a right elbow strain has stalled, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Throwing in particular remains an issue for Brujan. It's not clear whether he will be shut down for a bit or just limited in his activities, but either way the utility player is not close to coming off the 10-day injured list.

Cubs' Vidal Brujan: Lands on IL with elbow issue
The Cubs placed Brujan on the 10-day injured list Tuesday due to a right elbow sprain.
Brujan sustained the injury over the weekend, when he attempted to make a defensive play. He'll be eligible to come off the IL on Wednesday, though it's unclear if he'll be ready to play by then. Once activated, Brujan is projected to fill a utility role for the Cubs.

Cubs' Vidal Brujan: Elbow issue could force IL stint
Brujan could need a stint on the 10-day injured list due to a right elbow injury, Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic reports.
Brujan banged the elbow against the wall while trying to make a catch over the weekend and the issue has lingered. When healthy, Brujan will serve in a utility role with the Cubs.

Cubs' Vidal Brujan: Could get squeezed
Brujan may get bumped off of Chicago's roster once Nico Hoerner (forearm) is able to return, Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic reports.
Brujan or Gage Workman are the two players most likely to lose their spot to Hoerner, but Workman would have to be returned to Detroit as a Rule 5 pick if he gets pushed off the MLB roster. Brujan is out of minor-league options himself, so he would need to be designated for assignment in that scenario. Hoerner could be ready for the domestic season opener or soon after, so neither player will have much time to make a positive impression.

Cubs' Vidal Brujan: Makes initial roster
Brujan will travel with the Cubs for their two-game series against the Dodgers in Tokyo on March 18 and 19, Jesse Friedman of MLB.com reports.
Brujan will serve as infield depth in Tokyo with Nico Hoerner (forearm) not making the trip. Rule 5 pick Gage Workman also made the roster. Hoerner's eventual return could squeeze both players out of the picture, but for the time being, Brujan appears set to see time at second base alongside Jon Berti, while Workman will also be in the mix. All three players could also see time at third, though top prospect Matt Shaw is seemingly the top option there.

Cubs' Vidal Brujan: Plans to steal more bases
Brujan plans to be more aggressive in attempting to steal bases this season with the Cubs, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.
Brujan stole only five bases and was caught six times in 2024 during his lone season in Miami, and he said the Marlins "didn't give me the green light that I needed." Following an offseason trade to the Cubs, the 27-year-old decided that he's "going to be myself" and "going to steal bases." Brujan was a prolific base stealer in the minors and his sprint speed was in the 91st percentile in his rookie season with the Rays back in 2021. However, he went only 9-for-17 in stolen-base attempts over 99 regular-season games across three seasons with Tampa Bay, and last year with the Marlins his sprint speed was down in the 53rd percentile. Brujan is already 4-for-4 on stolen-base attempts this spring, so he's held true to his word so far, and he's also posted a 1.042 OPS. That said, if the career .189/.261/.270 hitter doesn't improve at the plate, his intentions on the bases could be irrelevant. Brujan is aiming to win a utility role with Chicago this season.

Cubs' Vidal Brujan: Potential injury replacement
With Nico Hoerner (forearm) set to miss the Cubs' two-game, season-opening series in Tokyo, Brujan is an option to see more time at second base, Jesse Rogers of MLB.com reports.
Brujan and Jon Berti are both options to fill in for Hoerner, who is recovering from October flexor tendon surgery. The Cubs play the Dodgers in Tokyo on March 18 and 19, then head back to the United States to resume regular season play later in the month. Hoerner may be ready by that time, which would push Brujan and Berti back to bench roles.

Cubs' Vidal Brujan: Hits first spring home run
Brujan went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's Cactus League game against the Diamondbacks.
Brujan connected for his first home run of the spring in the fifth inning and also split time in the field at second base and shortstop. The 27-year-old was shipped to Chicago from Miami in December, and he figures to serve in a bench role with the Cubs, giving him a limited fantasy ceiling for the time being.
