Whistles sounded from the left-field bleachers as Cubs catcher Yan Gomes jogged across the outfield to the bullpen Wednesday afternoon before the series finale against the Cardinals.

Earlier in the day, the Cubs activated Gomes off the seven-day concussion injured list. He started behind the plate.

“Actually gave him an extra day yesterday, making sure everything was up to speed,” manager David Ross said. “He feels great.”

Gomes, who left the Cubs’ game in Washington, D.C. on May 1 after being hit in the head with a backswing, became eligible for reinstatement Tuesday, but rookie catcher Miguel Amaya got one last start.
