The Cubs claimed Paredes off waivers from the Brewers on Monday, Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic reports.
Paredes will remain in the division after the Brewers booted him from their 40-man roster after he posted a 1.74 ERA and 14:10 K:BB over 20.2 innings in the big leagues. The 28-year-old does not have any minor-league options remaining, so he will be added to the Cubs' 28-man active roster.
