The Chicago Cubs added Hoby Milner to their bullpen on Thursday, agreeing to a $3.75 million, one-year contract with the left-hander, according to a person familiar with the deal.

The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the move was pending a physical.

Milner matched his career high with 73 appearances for Texas this season, finishing with a 3-4 record and a 3.84 ERA. He held lefty hitters to a .208 batting average and a .526 OPS.

The move reunites Milner with Craig Counsell, who managed Milwaukee for nine seasons before he was hired by the Cubs in November 2023. Milner pitched for the Brewers for four years before signing with the Rangers last December.
