Aaron Civale began the year with the Milwaukee Brewers, was traded to the Chicago White Sox, and later was claimed off waivers by the Chicago Cubs. He made his Cubs debut on Sept. 1, throwing three shutout innings in relief and striking out four Braves while helping spark a rally and a 7-6 walk-off win. Civale posted a 5.37 ERA and 1.373 WHIP in 13 starts for the White Sox and a 4.91 ERA and 1.364 WHIP in five games with the Brewers. He requested a trade after being slated for a bullpen role following the addition of Jacob Misiorowski. The original Brewers-White Sox trade brought Andrew Vaughn to Milwaukee, where Vaughn enjoyed a prolific month at the plate.
The Milwaukee Brewers surely didn't anticipate Aaron Civale playing a role for the team's arch-nemesis in the chase for the National League Central title. Civale, claimed off waivers by the Chicago Cubs from the Chicago White Sox, was in a Cubs uniform on Sept. 1, activated as part of the team's expanded roster to start the final month of the season.
Civale, who began the year with the Brewers but was sent to the White Sox in a trade that's already paid significant dividends for Milwaukee, wound up across town after posting a 5.37 ERA in 13 starts with the White Sox (67 innings), with a 1.373 WHIP. He pitched five games for the Brewers this season, posting a 4.91 ERA and 1.364 WHIP, but he requested a trade when the Brewers added Jacob Misiorowski to he rotation and announced intention to move Civale into a bullpen role.
