Chicago Cubs catcher Yan Gomes is being designated for assignment, a source told ESPN's Jesse Rogers on Wednesday.
Gomes, a 13-year veteran who was playing on a $6 million option in his third season with the Cubs, is hitting a career-low .154 with 2 home runs and 7 RBIs.
He will be replaced on the roster by Tomas Nido, who was released by the New York Mets on June 5 amid his own offensive struggles. Nido was hitting .125 (7 for 56) this season and didn't have an extra-base hit at the time of his release.
