Julian Merryweather's future with the Cubs is uncertain as the team evaluates their roster. Despite struggling with injuries last season, which limited him to 15 appearances and resulted in a 6.60 ERA, he has a history of success, posting a 3.38 ERA just two years prior. With a projected arbitration figure of around $1.3 million, retaining him could be a worthwhile investment if he can return to his previous form, especially given that the acquisition of Eli Morgan does not fully address the bullpen's needs.

Julian Merryweather has been placed on the 15-day injured list due to right knee tendinitis, retroactive to August 26. He has made 15 appearances for the Cubs this season, holding a record of 1-1 with a 6.00 ERA.
