Cubs' Jesus Tinoco: Booted from 40-man roster

The Cubs designated Tinoco for assignment Saturday.

Tinoco was traded to the Cubs on July 16 and threw four scoreless innings in relief for Chicago, but he'll yield his spots on the active 40-man rosters to make room for the recently acquired Nate Pearson. Assuming he clears waivers, Tinoco should remain in the Cubs organization.
