Yan Gomes Placed On Concussion List
2 years agoChicago Cubs catcher Yan Gomes (concussion) has been placed on the 7-day concussion list on Wednesday. The veteran catcher hasn't played since exiting Monday's game after getting hit in the head by a backswing. The team isn't going to take any chances here with Gomes. It's worth noting that Gomes hasn't been officially diagnosed with a concussion. Regardless, he'll miss some time, so Tucker Barnhart figures to get a majority of the starts behind the plate. He'll serve as the catcher and bat ninth against right-hander Jake Irvin on Wednesday. In a corresponding move, right-hander Javier Assad has been recalled to give the Cubs an extra arm.
