The Cubs are signing relief pitcher Hunter Harvey, according to Will Sammon and Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic.

Reliever Hunter Harvey and the Cubs are in agreement on a deal, pending physical, league sources tell me and @sahadevsharma.

Harvey dealt with injuries throughout most of 2025, which limited him to just 10.2 innings across 12 games. The 31-year-old battled shoulder and abductor injuries last year, which is why the “pending physical” designation is extremely important in this report.

Although his time on the mound was limited, he did not allow a run and struck out 11 batters.
