Jose Lobaton suffered a serious-looking shoulder injury late Tuesday night against the Brewers.
Lobaton was trying to beat out an infield hit in the top of the ninth inning when he collided with Brewers closer Josh Hader at the first base bag and went tumbling. He grabbed at his right shoulder and looked to be in extreme pain. Chicago may have to turn to yet another backup catcher.
Cubs purchased the contract of C Jose Lobaton from Triple-A Iowa.
Lobaton has spent parts of nine seasons in the majors but this will be his first stint in the big leagues since 2018. He'll serve as the backup to Willson Contreras.
Cubs re-signed C Jose Lobaton to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.
The 36-year-old backstop spent the 2020 campaign at the Cubs alternate training site, but never earned a call to the big leagues. In fact, he hasn't appeared in a major league game since 2018. With Willson Contreras and Austin Romine set to be the regular catching duo for the Cubs in 2021, Lobaton will serve as organizational depth behind the plate.
