Cubs manager David Ross has made his first taxi squad decision: utility man Herán Pérez will travel with the team to Cincinnati this week.
“The rest of it is to be determined,” Ross said Sunday. “And we may not take anybody outside of that.”
Teams can travel with up to three players from their alternate sites, forming a taxi squad. If they do take three, however, at least one must be a catcher. That remains the case no matter how many catchers are on the team’s major league roster. The Cubs are carrying three catchers on their 30-man roster.
