Tigers re-signed C Tomás Nido to a minor league contract.

Nido, who spent several years alternating between Triple-A and the majors for the Mets, will stay with the Tigers after appearing in 10 games for them this this year and spending the rest of the season in Triple-A. The 31-year-old is a lifetime .215/.249/.310 hitter in 982 major league plate appearances.
Tomas Nido

FA Catcher #0

Tigers C Tomás Nido elected free agency.

Nido gets a head start on searching for a new home this offseason after spending the final four months of last season at Triple-A Toledo. The 31-year-old backstop batted .343 (12-for-35) with two RBI during a 10-game stint with the Tigers back in May. He’s the definition of emergency catching depth at this juncture of his career.
Tomas Nido

DET Catcher #0

Tigers sent C Tomás Nido outright to Triple-A Toledo.

The 31-year-old backstop passed through waivers unclaimed after being designated for assignment on Tuesday and will continue to function as extra catching depth for the Tigers at the Triple-A level. Nido hit .343 (12-for-35) with two RBI during his time with the big league club.

DET Catcher #0

Tigers designated C Tomás Nido for assignment.

Nido performed admirably in a 10-game stint with Detroit, hitting .343 (12-for-35) with two RBI. The 31-year-old backstop has been jettisoned to clear space for starting catcher Jake Rogers to return from the injured list ahead of Tuesday’s game.
Jake Rogers

DET Catcher #34

Jake Rogers is beginning a rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday.

Rogers has missed five weeks with a strained oblique. He’ll replace Tomás Nido on the Tigers roster this weekend or early next week, but he probably will receive less playing time than Dillon Dingler, especially initially.
Tomas Nido

DET Catcher #58

Tigers selected the contract of C Tomás Nido from Triple-A Toledo.

Nido will make his Tigers debut after going 4-for-25 with a homer in six games for Toledo. The defensive-minded veteran figures to serve as Dillon Dingler’s backup until Jake Rogers returns.
Tomas Nido

DET Catcher #58

Tomás Nido hit a pair of two-run homers Wednesday in the rout of the Phillies.

Nido is 6-for-16 this spring as he tries to overtake Dillon Dingler and make the Tigers as a non-roster player. It doesn’t sound like that is the plan for Detroit, but Nido’s plus defense will make him of interest around the league if catchers start getting hurt.
Tomas Nido

DET Catcher #6

Tigers re-signed C Tomás Nido to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

Nido finished last year in Detroit after being released by the Cubs in late August. The 30-year-old defensive specialist posted a subterranean .192/.219/.315 triple-slash line with four homers in 140 plate appearances over 49 games last year between the Cubs and Mets.
Tomas Nido

DET Catcher #6

Tigers signed C Tomás Nido to a minor league contract.

Nido was released by the Cubs at the end of August, and it took a bit to find his new home. The 30-year-old will just be organizational depth, and if the Tigers sneak into the postseason, he won’t be eligible as he joined the team after August 31.
Tomas Nido

FA Catcher #6

Cubs released C Tomás Nido.

Nido had been stationed on the Cubs’ 10-day injured list since July 25 due to a right knee sprain. He’s now free to sign elsewhere as extra catching depth if he’s able to find an opportunity to his liking.

Astros optioned RHP Ronel Blanco to Triple-A Sugar Land.

Blanco has really struggled during his time with the Astros this season, posting a 7.71 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and a 20/12 K/BB ratio over 23 1/3 innings in his five appearances (four starts). Miguel Ullola was recalled from Triple-A Sugar Land to take his place on the active roster.

Cubs’ manager Craig Counsell told reporters on Sunday that David Peterson will be moved to the bullpen with Edward Cabrera rejoining the rotation on Sunday.

Peterson hasn’t pitched poorly since joining the Cubs, but he’ll get squeezed back into a long relief role for the time being now that Cabrera is ready to return. That should strip away any lingering mixed league fantasy value that he may have had.

Athletics transferred RHP Justin Sterner to the 60-day injured list.

This move doesn’t come as a surprise as Sterner underwent season-ending knee surgery last week. It was done as a procedural move to free up a spot on the team’s 40-man roster for the addition of Joe Rock on Sunday.

Brice Turang (knee) was held out of the Brewers’ starting lineup for a fourth consecutive game on Sunday.

The dynamic 26-year-old second baseman winds up missing the entire weekend series against the Dodgers due to pain in his right knee. He’s expected to be available off the bench on Sunday, and the Brewers are still hopeful that he’ll be able to avoid a trip to the injured list.

Cubs optioned RHP Javier Assad to Triple-A Iowa.

With Edward Cabrera returning from the injured list to join the Cubs’ rotation on Sunday, Assad once again gets squeezed off of the active roster. The 29-year-old hurler has compiled a solid 3.59 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and a 53/21 K/BB ratio over 80 1/3 innings in 21 appearances (10 starts) with the Cubs this season. He’ll almost assuredly get another opportunity with the Cubs before season’s end.

Corey Seager is not in the Rangers’ starting lineup for Sunday’s divisional matchup against the Athletics.

The Rangers are being sure to mix in plenty of days off for the 32-year-old slugger and it makes sense to do so with left-hander Jacob Lopez toeing the slab for the A’s on Sunday afternoon. Expect Seager to make an appearance off the bench in this one if the right situation arises. Ezequiel Duran will start at shortstop in his place and bat second for the Rangers.

Michael Busch is absent from the Cubs’ starting lineup for Sunday’s soiree against the Cardinals.

Busch had been mired in a bit of a power outage lately, slashing just .253/.290/.316 with one homer, nine RBI and an 18/4 K/BB ratio over 100 plate appearances in his last 22 ballgames. He’ll get a day off to reset in this one with Pedro Ramirez filling in at first base and batting sixth against Cardinals’ right-hander Hunter Dobbins.
