Austin Romine (left wrist sprain) is on the 60-day injured list and out indefinitely. They designated Tony Wolters for assignment May 19 to open a roster spot for P.J. Higgins. However, Higgins’ first big-league call up only lasted three weeks. He will have right forearm flexor tendon repair surgery within the next couple weeks and is out for the season. Jose Lobaton, 36, is in the majors for the first time since 2018. The only other catcher on the Cubs’ 40-man roster is prospect Miguel Amaya, who is currently on the minor-league injured list at Double A as he rehabs a right forearm strain.
