The Cubs designated catcher Koyie Hill for assignment, Carrie Muskat of MLB.com reports (on Twitter). The Cubs activated Welington Castillo from the disabled list in a related move.
Hill appeared in 11 games for the Cubs this year, collecting six singles and a double in 39 plate appearances. The 33-year-old has experience in nine MLB seasons, but most of his professional career has been spent at the minor league level, where he has a .278 /.344/.410 batting line.
Everything today is MATT CAIN!!
Thank you, Merciful Jesus
Hosanna, it’s the lesser of two evils!
I designate this assignment for everyone: try to find me another player who has gotten as many MLB at-bats with less talent than Koyie Hill. Hey, I didn’t say it would be an easy assignment… ;).
Rob Johnson?
Barry Bonds?
There’s no crying in baseball!! hahaha
reported.
Soto has been terrible, but lets be realistic…
Come the deadline, someone would hand over a fringe prospect with upside for a catcher with pop in his bat.
Castillo/Clevenger will do fine.
