4 years agoThe Chicago Cubs have designated catcher Tony Wolters for assignment. Wolters has spent two stints on the Cubs roster this year and has operated as the backup to catcher Willson Contreras. Wolters only produced three hits in 24 at-bats. If he doesn't clear waivers, Wolters is likely to land on his feet as organizational depth for another franchise. Catcher P.J. Higgins will replace Wolters on the roster and become the Cubs new backup catcher. Higgins has been off to a hot start for Triple-A Iowa with a .333 batting average to go along with one home run, six RBI and eight walks. Higgins can safely be left on the waiver wire in all formats with limited playing time.--Daniel Burdeen - RotoBaller
