| 9/06/24 | Philadelphia Phillies Reliever Claimed off Waivers By Division Rivals. After a little bit of a rough stretch in the second half of the year, the Philadelphia Phillies bullpen has returned to their dominant form where they are shutting out opposing teams whenever they are called upon. This also allowed the Phillies to be comfortable with their decision to designated Michael Rucker for assignment back on Sept. 4 when they made some roster adjustments to get ready for the final stretch of the season into the playoffs. Philadelphia acquired the right-hander this offseason in a deal with the Chicago Cubs where they landed him in exchange for cash considerations. Rucker was never able to get things going with his new team, having been placed on the 15-day injured list before the year started with arterial vasospasm in his right hand.

| 4/29/23 | Marlins 3, Cubs 2: The hit batters just kept on coming. First, the unhappy details: Michael Rucker gave up a leadoff single in the ninth, hit two batters, then allowed a walkoff hit that sent the Cubs to a 3-2 loss to the Marlins Friday night in Miami. Before Friday, Rucker had not hit a batter since August 3, 2021, a span of 70 appearances and 377 batters faced. Why is David Ross tying his own hands by having essentially a seven-man bullpen, which is going to get overworked if he keeps using guys every day? The “Why is Luis Torrens on this roster?” question was finally answered Friday when he was DFA, but the “Why is Edwin Rios on this roster?” question remains open.

| 3/19/23 | Cub Tracks' it might as well rain. Welcome to today's edition of Cub Tracks news and notes™, a greatest-hits collection of Chicago-style beat writers and bloggers, ground from #Cubs, #MiLB, and #MLB baseball, overheated, steeped in writers' tears, and then cold-brewed overnight for maximum flavor. Well, Michael Rucker looked like he held the golden ticket to the Iowa train. The Cubs dropped a game to the aggressive-on-the-bases Giants, and looked generally sloppy, though there were bright spots here and there. Cliff Floyd was just fine.

| 2/21/23 | Cubs notes: Bullpen competition crowded, longtime team doctor retired. Reliever Michael Rucker's offseason program included building a mini gym in his garage. A big focus for Rucker this offseason was gaining strength so he'd be available for more back-to-backs, or whenever manager David Ross calls his name. Rucker, entering his third big-league season, debuted in 2021 and began to establish himself in a middle relief role last year. “Coming into this year, for a lot of us young guys, it's not a done deal making the team out of camp,” Rucker said when asked about his goals this year.

| 4/13/22 | Chicago Cubs notes: Michael Rucker's delayed debut and how Willson Contreras 'fell in love' with back-picking. Right-hander Michael Rucker came into the season understanding what his role might be in the Chicago Cubs bullpen. So Rucker wasn’t surprised he hadn’t gotten the call during the Cubs’ first four games, thanks in part to two days off. Rucker kept a “stay ready” mindset, and his preparedness was obvious when his opportunity arrived in Wednesday’s 6-2 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates.
