2026 Projections
Signed a one-year contract with the Blue Jays in March of 2025. Traded to the Guardians in December of 2025.
DFA'd by Cleveland
The Guardians designated Bruihl for assignment Saturday.
Analysis
Cleveland just acquired Bruihl from Toronto in exchange for cash considerations Wednesday, but it appears the Guardians no longer see the southpaw as part of the team's big-league bullpen after they signed Shawn Armstrong on Thursday. Bruihl can elect to become a free agent if he passes through waivers unclaimed. He may have to settle for a minor-league deal eventually, as he holds a career 4.72 ERA and 1.37 WHIP with a 69:32 K:BB over 89.2 innings across 94 games spanning parts of five campaigns.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could rejoin MLB roster
Bruihl joined the Blue Jays as a member of the taxi squad Tuesday and could be added to the MLB roster as the club considers a roster move, reports Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca.
Analysis
The left-hander was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo on Friday, so Toronto would need to place a player on the injured list in order for him to be called back up so quickly. In his four MLB appearances this season, Bruihl has given up one earned run with a 5:2 K:BB over 3.1 innings.
