CHICAGO -- The Cubs are releasing reliever Hector Neris as he has cleared waivers after being designated for assignment recently, sources told ESPN.
Neris, 35, was 8-4 with 17 saves and a 3.89 ERA in 46 games with Chicago this season, his first and only one with the team. He also blew five saves while compiling a 1.52 WHIP during some tumultuous times as the team's closer after being elevated to that role early in the year.
Neris signed with the Cubs last winter on a one-year, $9 million contract that included a team option for 2025.
