Givens has had a solid season with a record of 6-2 and a 2.66 ERA in 40.2 innings for the Cubs and has two saves with 51 strikeouts, a 1.254 WHIP and only walked 19 batters.
He has also not given up a earned run since June 15 which is a streak of 15 consecutive appearances.
Givens had experience playing for manager Buck Showalter since he played under Showalter during his time with the Baltimore Orioles from 2015-2018.
He is a three-pitch pitcher and primarily uses his fastball, change-up and slider.
Givens has proven to be a reliable reliever for years and provides another veteran arm in the eighth inning as a set up man for star closer RHP Edwin Diaz.
He helps fill a void in a bullpen that has has been inconsistent all year.
