The Chicago Cubs have acquired right-hander
Aaron Civale
from the Athletics ahead of the trade deadline, receiving cash considerations and minor league pitcher Aiden Moffett in return. Civale, 31, has struggled this season with a 5-7 record and a 5.42 ERA over 16 games, prompting the A’s to designate him for assignment. This marks Civale’s return to the Cubs, where he previously posted a 2.08 ERA in five bullpen appearances in 2025. With injuries affecting their pitching staff, the Cubs hope Civale can bolster their rotation as they chase the NL Central lead.
