The Cubs have released Tomas Nido.

Fantasy Impact

Nido was released to make room for Shawn Armstrong on the 40-man roster. The veteran could draw some interest in free agency from a team in need of catching depth.

The Cubs placed Tomas Nido on the 10-day IL with a right knee sprain.

Fantasy Impact

Nido will likely miss at least the next couple of weeks. Christian Betancourt was recalled as the corresponding move.

Tomas Nido is in the starting lineup for the Cubs Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

Nido will start behind the plate and bat eighth against the Diamondbacks. He is hitting .198, with four home runs, and 12 RBI this season.

Tomas Nido went 1-for-4 with a home run and an RBI in the Cubs' 8-3 victory over the Cardinals.

Fantasy Impact

The solo blast contributed to Nido's modest season totals, bringing his home run count to four and RBI tally to 12. While Nido's batting average sits at a lackluster .202 over 46 games, his occasional power display offers some upside in deeper fantasy leagues or as a streaming option in daily formats. However, his high strikeout rate and low walk rate limit his on-base potential, making him a less attractive option in OBP leagues. Fantasy managers should consider Nido as a situational play rather than a regular starter.
