The Baltimore Orioles have re-acquired relief pitcher Andrew Kittredge in a trade with the Chicago Cubs, the team announced Tuesday.
Kittridge, 35, signed a one-year, $9 million deal with the Orioles as a free agent in January but was sent to the Cubs at the trade deadline for shortstop prospect Wilfri De La Cruz. Baltimore acquired the right-hander once more on Tuesday for cash considerations.
Kittredge had a 4-3 record and 3.40 ERA across 53 innings and 54 appearances this past season for both teams with 64 strikeouts to 11 walks. He had a 3.32 regular-season ERA across 21 appearances for Chicago before he was 0-1 with a 5.40 ERA across five postseason appearances (one start).
Over nine major league seasons, Kittridge is 27-15 with a 3.43 ERA over 338 1/3 innings.
