Tómas Nido has been placed on the 10-day IL with a right knee sprain, retro to Thursday.
Cubs have selected catcher Christian Betancourt from Triple-A Iowa.
Ben Brown has been transferred to the 60-day IL.— Meghan Montemurro (@M_Montemurro) July 26, 2024Christian Bethancourt was a Top 100 prospect in the Braves system several years in a row, about a decade ago, but never fulfilled that promise.
