Cubs' Josh Phegley: Bumped off roster

The Cubs designated Phegley for assignment Sunday, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.

Phegley has seen little work this season as the Cubs' No. 3 catcher, so he was a logical option to bump off the 40-man roster and 28-man active roster to clear room for designated hitter Jose Martinez, who was acquired from the Rays on Sunday. Given that he has eight years of MLB catching experience, Phegley could have some appeal on the waiver wire for teams looking for veteran depth behind the dish.
