The Cubs reassigned Jack Neely to Triple-A Iowa on Saturday, per team reports.

Fantasy Impact

Neely’s spring stint included two Cactus League innings—one run allowed on two hits and a walk, with three punchouts—but Chicago’s looking for more polish before he joins their bullpen. The 24-year-old logged a 3.26 ERA and 1.29 WHIP across 19.1 innings at Triple-A in 2024. Fantasy managers can hold off drafting him; he’s a minor-league arm to watch if he sharpens up for a call-up.
