The Chicago Cubs today announced that first baseman Alfonso Rivas has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a right middle finger injury. To replace Rivas on the roster, outfielder Nick Martini was recalled from Triple-A Iowa.
Rivas, 25, made his major league debut on August 29. Since that time, he’s played in 18 games and hit .318/.388/.409 (14 for 44) with one home run and three runs batted in. With only 12 games left in the season, Rivas is probably done for 2021.
The Cubs acquired Rivas in a 2020 deal that sent Tony Kemp to the Athletics.
