The 31-year-old Borucki impressed this spring, going 2-0 with eight strikeouts over six scoreless innings with the Chicago White Sox. After he wasn’t named to Chicago’s Opening Day roster, he opted out of his minor league contract and became a free agent this week.
He posted a 4.63 ERA with 32 strikeouts in 35 innings across 39 appearances in 2025, splitting time between the Pittsburgh Pirates and Toronto Blue Jays. Left-handed hitters went just 7 for 60 against him last season.
Borucki also has spent time with the Seattle Mariners and owns a 4.28 ERA across 187 career appearances.
