Yan Gomes hasn’t yet gone on the concussion IL after being hit by a backswing from Jeimer Candelario of the Nationals during Monday’s game. He’s reported to be still “under evaluation.”
As a precaution to make sure there’s a backup for Tucker Barnhart for Tuesday’s game in Washington, the Cubs have called up catcher Miguel Amaya to make his Major League debut (whenever that happens). To make room for Amaya on the active roster, lefthander Ryan Borucki was designated for assignment.
That means, for the time being, that the Cubs will have 14 position players and 12 pitchers on the active roster, and there’s now an open spot on the 40-man roster.
