Claimed by Cubs
The Cubs claimed Armstrong off waivers Friday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis
Armstrong was acquired by the Cardinals from the Rays in late July as part of the trade package for Dylan Carlson. Armstrong posted a 2.84 ERA and 1.03 WHIP over 12.2 innings with St. Louis, but he was designated for assignment by the Cardinals on Tuesday. He'll stay within the NL Central and give the Cubs much-needed depth out of the bullpen after Julian Merryweather was placed on the 15-day injured list Tuesday due to right knee tendinitis.

Picks up first win with new team
Armstrong (3-2) earned the win Sunday over the Twins, retiring both batters he faced.
Analysis
Armstrong has been moderately effective in a middle-relief role since joining the Cardinals, allowing four runs over 11.1 innings across 10 appearances. He's added an 11:2 K:BB in that span. For the year, Armstrong has a 4.97 ERA, 1.48 WHIP, 61:21 K:BB, one save and three holds over 58 innings between the Cardinals and the Rays. Given the success of St. Louis' high-leverage relievers, Armstrong is unlikely to move up the hierarchy.
