WASHINGTON – The Cubs put catcher Yan Gomes on the seven-day concussion injured list Wednesday, two days after he was struck in the head with a back swing. In a corresponding move, the Cubs recalled right-hander Javier Assad from Triple-A Iowa.
Gomes left the Cubs’ game Monday after the first inning. Manager David Ross said that in addition to Monday, Gomes had been hit with a couple back swings in Miami and in the Dodgers series.
Gomes presented mild symptoms, according to the Cubs. Putting him on the IL gives him time to ease back in.
