PSt. Louis Cardinals
January 6, 2026
The Cardinals acquired Bruihl from the Guardians on Tuesday in exchange for cash considerations.
Analysis
Bruihl has bounced around from the Blue Jays to the Guardians and now to the Cardinals since mid-December. The left-handed reliever holds a career 4.72 ERA and 69:32 K:BB over 89.2 frames covering parts of five major-league seasons. Bruihl does not have minor-league options remaining, so he's a good bet to make the Opening Day roster if he's still with St. Louis in spring training.

How does Justin Bruihl compare to other relievers?
This section compares his stats with all relief pitcher seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 30 innings)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.

* Exit Velocity, Barrels/BBE %, Balls Hit 95+ MPH %, and Spin Rate are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 30 IP). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could rejoin MLB roster
PToronto Blue Jays
July 8, 2025
Bruihl joined the Blue Jays as a member of the taxi squad Tuesday and could be added to the MLB roster as the club considers a roster move, reports Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca.
Analysis
The left-hander was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo on Friday, so Toronto would need to place a player on the injured list in order for him to be called back up so quickly. In his four MLB appearances this season, Bruihl has given up one earned run with a 5:2 K:BB over 3.1 innings.
