Tigers' Tomas Nido: Goes deep twice Wednesday
Nido went 2-for-4 with two home runs and four total RBI in Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Phillies.
Nido, who had only four home runs across 49 games for the Mets and Cubs last year, unexpectedly supplied some power in this one. The veteran joined the Tigers on a minor-league deal in January. The team has Jake Rogers and Dillon Dingler ahead of him on the catching depth chart, but Nido provides some insurance in case Detroit's catching depth is tested.

Tigers' Tomas Nido: Receives NRI deal with Detroit
The Tigers re-signed Nido to a minor-league contract Thursday that includes an invitation to spring training, Michael Mayer of MetsmerizedOnline.com reports.
Nido finished the 2024 season with Triple-A Toledo after inking a minor-league pact with the Tigers and now returns to the organization. The career .210/.245/.309 hitter over parts of eight big-league seasons could have a shot to open the year as Jake Rogers' backup.

Tigers' Tomas Nido: Receives MiLB deal from Detroit
The Tigers signed Nido to a minor-league contract Tuesday.
Nido was released by the Cubs in late August just as he was beginning a rehab assignment following a debridement procedure on his right knee. He should be healthy enough to play now and will give the Tigers some organizational catching depth for the stretch run.

Tomas Nido: Cut loose by Cubs
The Cubs released Nido (knee) on Friday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Nido was released to make room for Shawn Armstrong on the 40-man roster. After signing with Chicago in June, Nido slashed .128/.143/.234 with one home run in 50 plate appearances. The 30-year-old catcher could draw some interest on the open market, though he's currently recovering from a debridement procedure on his right knee.

Cubs' Tomas Nido: Begins rehab assignment
Nido (knee) went 1-for-2 with a run scored in his first rehab game with Triple-A Iowa on Thursday.
Nido is exactly one month removed from a debridement procedure on his right knee but is ready for game action again. He shouldn't need more than a handful of rehab games before returning. Christian Bethancourt has played well as the Cubs' backup to Miguel Amaya, but there could be room for all three catchers when rosters expand.

The Cubs placed Nido on the 10-day injured list Friday with a right knee sprain, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Nido isn't in the Cubs' lineup Tuesday versus the Brewers.

Cubs' Tomas Nido: Pops homer in win
Nido went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 8-3 win over the Cardinals.
This was Nido's first homer as a Cub after signing with the team June 19. The catcher has hit safely in five of his last seven games, generating three RBI in that span. For the season, he's at a .202/.229/.331 slash line with four homers, 12 RBI, 14 runs scored and four doubles across 133 plate appearances between the Cubs and the Mets.

Cubs' Tomas Nido: Sitting again

Nido is absent from the starting lineup for the fourth time in six games, as the Cubs turn to Miguel Amaya behind the dish Saturday. Nido logged a hit in just one of his first 16 at-bats with the Cubs, but he has since gone 4-for-18 with a pair of RBI and three runs.

Cubs' Tomas Nido: Hitting bench Wednesday
Nido is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles.
Nido had started behind the plate in four of the past five games, but he'll cede catching duties to Miguel Amaya on Wednesday. Since signing with the Cubs on June 19, Nido has put together a .133/.156/.200 slash line with a 31.3 percent strikeout rate, so his hold on the No. 1 catcher's role may be tenuous.

Cubs' Tomas Nido: Hitting bench Sunday
Nido is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.
Miguel Amaya is behind the dish for Sunday's series finale, but Nido appears to have at least temporarily settled on top of the depth chart at catcher after he was initially part of a timeshare at the position upon signing with the Cubs on June 19. Nido had started each of the past three games, going 2-for-10 with a double, two runs and an RBI.

Tomas Nido: Cut loose by Mets
The Mets released Nido on Monday, Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com reports.
Nido cleared waivers after being designated for assignment last week and is now free to sign with another organization. The veteran catcher has a career .564 OPS over parts of eight major-league seasons but is viewed as a strong defender, so he could draw interest as a backup catcher elsewhere.

Cubs' Tomas Nido: Signs with Cubs
The Cubs signed Nido to a one-year contract Wednesday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.
The Cubs will swap out Yan Gomes -- who was designated for assignment -- for Nido. Nido was designated for assignment himself and eventually released by the Mets earlier this month but he quickly lands on his feet in Chicago, where he'll share catching duties with Miguel Amaya.

Mets' Tomas Nido: Remains out of lineup
Nido is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.
Nido continues to lose work behind the plate to Luis Torrens, with the former sitting for the fifth time in six games Sunday. Torrens went 1-for-3 in Saturday's 7-2 loss, and Nido appears to have lost his grip on the starting job behind home plate.

Mets' Tomas Nido: Sitting again Saturday
Nido isn't in the Mets' lineup for Saturday's game against the Phillies, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
Nido will sit for the fourth time in five games Saturday as Luis Torrens draws the start behind the plate while batting ninth. Torrens has gone 3-for-10 with two homers in three games since joining the Mets on Sunday, and continued success from him could cause Nido to drop down the Mets' depth chart.
