The Chicago Cubs designated catcher Tucker Barnhart for assignment before Saturday’s game against the Kansas City Royals at Wrigley Field.
“He wants to play and has the right to feel that way,” manager David Ross said. “Just feels like there are not going to be a whole lot of at-bats for him down the stretch.”Ross had no update on the rotation plans for the upcoming three-game series in Detroit, where the Cubs will need a starter Tuesday.
“I’ve never been a big proponent of guys being there that aren’t going to contribute directly and can help the squad,” he said. “I love having Marcus around,” Ross said. “I think everybody loves having him around. I haven’t gotten his plan quite yet. I know he’s going to rest.”“We’ve got to let it calm down, he’s in some serious pain,” Ross said. “We’ll start to build him up as fast as we can once he feels like he’s symptom-free.”
