The entire second half of the season for the Chicago Cubs is all about auditioning for the 2022 roster, especially when it comes to the bullpen. Craig Kimbrel, Andrew Chafin and Ryan Tepera were all traded, which has opened the door for younger guys to shine.

Codi Heuer, who was part of the return for Kimbrel, Manny Rodriguez, Michael Rucker and others have all made appearances in August. Some have shined, and some have shown they aren’t quite ready for the big leagues quite yet.

Heuer had a fantastic rookie season across town with the White Sox.
