The Cubs have outrighted right-hander Jack Neely to Triple-A after designating him for assignment to make room for Michael Conforto on the 40-man roster. Acquired from the Yankees in 2024, Neely struggled in the majors with a 9.00 ERA and experienced difficulties at Triple-A Iowa, posting a 5.94 ERA and high walk rate in 2025. Despite a strong spring performance, he was not included in the major league roster. If he remains off the 40-man roster this season, he will have the option to elect minor league free agency.
