| Player Notes |
| November 3, 2007 The Cubs declined their $4.75 million club option on Steve Trachsel Saturday, according to the AP. The hurler was paid a $100,000 buyout. Most teams still view Trachsel a back-of-the-rotation starter. We suppose that's true; he's just not a very good one. |
| September 26, 2007 Nothing is set in stone, but it appears that manager Lou Pinella is thinking about tinkering with his rotation. Jason Marquis will start tonight, but Steve Trachsel is not a given to get the ball on Thursday. "I said [today's] starter was the same. I haven't said anything else," Pinella told the Chicago Sun-Times. "And I haven't said the rotation for Cincinnati, either." Pinella could move Rich Hill and Carlos Zambrano up a day and pitch them on regular rest, but then he'd have to go with Ted Lilly and Marquis on short rest over the weekend (assuming Trachsel or Sean Marshall don't start). |
| September 23, 2007 Steve Trachsel threw in a simulated game after Saturday's win and will get the nod Thursday in Florida against the Marlins, the AP reports. He was bumped out of the rotation when the Cubs went with a four-man setup. |
| September 17, 2007 Manager Lou Pinella said he might use Steve Trachsel out of the bullpen over the final couple weeks. Trachsel has said that he isn't fond of the idea, but he may not have a choice, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. |
| September 11, 2007 Steve Trachsel will make his next start for the Cubs on three day's rest on Thursday. The veteran threw only 47 pitches in his start Sunday, when he gave up six runs in two innings. "I don't think we have much choice," manager Lou Piniella said in the Chicago Sun-Times. "He didn't throw that many pitches in Pittsburgh." |
| September 6, 2007 Steve Trachsel, who allowed three runs in six innings against the Astros on Tuesday, will make his next start on Sunday against Pittsburgh, according to the Chicago Tribune. Had Trachsel struggled in his last start, the Cubs could have gone with Ted Lilly on Sunday and pushed Trachsel back. |
| August 31, 2007 The Cubs acquired Steve Trachsel from the Orioles Friday in exchange for infielder Scott Moore and reliever Rocky Cherry. Both players had been playing for Triple-A Iowa. Trachsel would presumably take Sean Marshall's spot in the rotation, though the Cubs will have a need for six starters in September, as they have a doubleheader during the month and don't have an off day until Sept. 20. |
| July 20, 2007 The Orioles activated Steve Trachsel from the disabled list on Friday, according to the AP. He had been sidelined since June 30 with a strained gluteus muscle. Trachsel, who holds a 4.95 ERA in 17 starts this season, is slated to start on Saturday against the A's. |
| July 16, 2007 Steve Trachsel reported only normal soreness Sunday after making a rehab appearance the day before. Barring a setback during the week, Trachsel is expected to come off the disabled list to start Saturday's game, according to the Baltimore Sun. "I felt pretty good," he said. "I was a little rusty, a little strong early from the time off." He's been out with a strained gluteus muscle, but it appears he's about ready to get back into game action. |
| July 13, 2007 Steve Trachsel will make a rehab start this weekend, the Baltimore Sun reports. Trachsel says he's ready to go deep into a game, with 80-100 pitches possible. He's out with a strained gluteus and is on track to return later this month. |
| July 9, 2007 Steve Trachsel probably will begin a rehab assignment next week. He's slated to toss bullpen sessions Tuesday and Thursday this week and likely will work one or two rehab games before coming off the disabled list, according to the Baltimore Sun. He's recovering from a strained gluteus and is on track to return later this month. |
| July 1, 2007 The Orioles placed Steve Trachsel on the disabled list prior to Saturday's game. He was diagnosed with a strained gluteus after allowing five runs on nine hits over 1 2/3 innings during Friday's start, according to the Baltimore Sun. The O's likely will call Garrett Olson up from Triple-A Norfolk or have Rob Bell start Wednesday in place Trachsel. |
| February 13, 2007 With Kris Benson likely out for the season, the Orioles agreed on a one-year, $3.2 million deal with Steve Trachsel on Monday, according to the Baltimore Sun. The deal is pending a physical. Trachsel is expected to slide in as Baltimore's No. 5 starter. |
