KANSAS CITY – The Cubs’ catching situation took another turn on Friday, as the team put Tomás Nido on the 10-day injured list with a sprained right knee.
To fill his spot, the Cubs selected the contract of Christian Bethancourt, who signed a minor-league deal three weeks ago, from Triple-A Iowa. To open a spot on the 40-man roster, they transferred right-hander Ben Brown (neck) from the 15-day IL to the 60-day.
Manager Craig Counsell described Nido’s injury as a Grade 1 MCL strain.
