Codi Heuer: Non-tendered by Cubs
Rotowire
Heuer (elbow) became a free agent Friday after being non-tendered by the Cubs.
Heuer hasn't appeared in a major-league game since 2021 and is on the mend from June surgery to repair a fracture in his right elbow. The 27-year-old will seek out a fresh start on the open market.
Heuer (elbow) is slated to begin a throwing program in mid-November, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Heuer had surgery to repair a fractured right elbow in late June and has completed the initial healing and range of motion phase of his recovery. The next step will be throwing, which will begin in about a month. There is no timetable for Heuer's return, but he would seem to have a good shot to be ready for Opening Day in 2024 if he can progress without setbacks.
