The Chicago Cubs have removed former New York Yankees infielder Tyler Austin from their roster, according to a report from Yahoo Sports. Austin, who spent three seasons with the Yankees from 2016 to 2018, was part of the United States baseball team at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
The 31-year-old right-handed hitter had been attempting to earn a spot with the Cubs organization but was ultimately cut. Austin previously played in Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball before returning to MLB.
