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

EDGE Analysis

Nido will be eligible to return in early August, but it seems unlikely given the nature of the injury that he'll be ready by then. Miguel Amaya and Christian Bethancourt will handle the catching duties for the Cubs.

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

EDGE Analysis

While Nido and Miguel Amaya have been splitting time behind the plate recently, Tuesday's game will be the second consecutive one on the bench for Nido, his first set of consecutive absences since June 25-26. Amaya is batting eighth Tuesday after going 1-for-3 with two walks in Monday's 3-1 win over the Brewers.

Nido isn't in the Cubs' lineup for Saturday's game against Arizona.

EDGE Analysis

The Cubs seem to have fallen into a pattern of alternating between Nido and Miguel Amaya behind the plate, and Saturday will mark Amaya's turn to start while he bats eighth.

Nido went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 8-3 win over the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Nido is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Nido is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Nido will yield to Miguel Amaya behind the plate for the third time in five games. Nido is 4-for-19 (.211) with three runs scored and two RBI during July.

Nido is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Nido is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

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.

The Cubs signed Nido to a one-year contract Wednesday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

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.

The Mets released Nido on Monday, Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

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.
