Back with Tigers on MiLB pact The Tigers re-signed Nido to a minor-league contract with an invitation to spring training.

Impact Nido finished the 2025 season with the Tigers after stops with the Mets and Cubs. A career .215/.249/.310 hitter over parts of nine big-league seasons, the 31-year-old Nido is slated to begin the 2026 season as experienced catching depth at Triple-A Toledo.

Elects free agency Nido elected to become a free agent Wednesday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact After accepting an outright assignment from the Tigers in May, Nido has now exercised his right to free agency. The defensive-minded catcher is a career .215/.249/.310 hitter over parts of nine big-league seasons and will look to land a minor-league contract this winter.

Outrighted to Toledo Nido cleared waivers Friday and was sent outright to Triple-A Toledo.

Impact Nido played well in a small sample size during his time in Detroit, going 12-for-35 with two RBI and four runs scored in 11 games, but he'll ultimately end up back on the Triple-A roster as organizational depth. He could still return to the Tigers down the line if Dillon Dingler or Jake Rogers had to miss any amount of time.

MLB-leading Tigers activate catcher Jake Rogers from injured list, designate Nido for assignment

DFA'd by Detroit Nido was designated for assignment by the Tigers on Tuesday.

Impact With Jake Rogers (oblique) back from the 10-day IL, Nido gets the boot from the Tigers' 40-man roster. Nido spent six weeks with Detroit, slashing .343/.361/.343 with two RBI, four runs scored and a 0:10 BB:K across 37 plate appearances. He even tossed 1.2 scoreless innings of relief against the Cardinals in a blowout loss Monday.

Torres and McKinstry each get 3 hits, Tigers beat the Padres 6-4 for 4th win in 5 games

Starting Monday Nido is starting at catcher and batting ninth in Monday's game against the Padres.

Impact Nido will give Dillon Dingler a breather, as the latter started both Saturday and Sunday behind the plate. Nido is Detroit's backup catcher for the time being with Jake Rogers (oblique) on the injured list, and the veteran has played well in a small sample, collecting four hits in nine at-bats so far.

Records three hits in win Nido went 3-for-4 with an RBI in Friday's 7-3 win over the Royals.

Impact Making just his third appearance for Detroit, Nido posted his first multi-hit effort of the season. The veteran catcher is getting a chance to back up Dillon Dingler while Jake Rogers (oblique) is on the 10-day injured list. Once Rogers is able to return, Nido figures to return to Triple-A Toledo, and he has limited fantasy appeal in the meantime.

Added to roster The Tigers selected Nido's contract from Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Impact He'll serve as Detroit's No. 2 catcher behind Dillon Dingler while Jake Rogers (oblique) is sidelined. Nido is a defense-first catcher with a career .554 OPS over parts of eight big-league seasons.

Goes deep twice Wednesday Nido went 2-for-4 with two home runs and four total RBI in Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Phillies.

Impact Nido, who had only four home runs across 49 games for the Mets and Cubs last year, unexpectedly supplied some power in this one. The veteran joined the Tigers on a minor-league deal in January. The team has Jake Rogers and Dillon Dingler ahead of him on the catching depth chart, but Nido provides some insurance in case anything happens to either of those players.

MARCH 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Receives NRI deal with Detroit The Tigers re-signed Nido to a minor-league contract Thursday that includes an invitation to spring training, Michael Mayer of MetsmerizedOnline.com reports.

Impact Nido finished the 2024 season with Triple-A Toledo after inking a minor-league pact with the Tigers and now returns to the organization. The career .210/.245/.309 hitter over parts of eight big-league seasons could have a shot to open the year as Jake Rogers' backup.

Tigers News: Detroit Signs Catcher Tomas Nido The Tigers have signed catcher Tomás Nido, aiming to enhance depth in a challenging season.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2024 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Receives MiLB deal from Detroit The Tigers signed Nido to a minor-league contract Tuesday.

Impact Nido was released by the Cubs in late August just as he was beginning a rehab assignment following a debridement procedure on his right knee. He should be healthy enough to play now and will give the Tigers a little organizational catching depth for the stretch run.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Cut loose by Cubs The Cubs released Nido (knee) on Friday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact Nido was released to make room for Shawn Armstrong on the 40-man roster. After signing on with Chicago in June, Nido slashed .128/.143/.234 with one home run in 50 plate appearances. The 30-year-old catcher should warrant some interest on the open market, though he's currently recovering from a debridgement procedure on his right knee.

AUGUST 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Begins rehab assignment Nido (knee) went 1-for-2 with a run scored in his first rehab game with Triple-A Iowa on Thursday.

Impact Nido is exactly one month removed from a debridgement procedure on his right knee but is ready for game action again. He shouldn't need more than a handful of rehab games before returning. Christian Bethancourt has played well as the Cubs' backup catcher behind Miguel Amaya, but there's probably room for all three guys when rosters expand.

AUGUST 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Resumes baseball activities Nido (knee) resumed baseball activities Thursday, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Impact Nido will ease back into things after having a debridgement on his right knee in late July. He's expected back sometime in September and should share the Cubs' catching duties with Miguel Amaya at that point.

AUGUST 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Undergoes knee surgery Nido underwent a debridgement on his right knee Tuesday, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact Nido landed on the 10-day injured list last week with a sprained knee and has now had it scoped. It's not clear how long he might be out, but it sounds like he will attempt to return later this season.

JULY 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

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

Impact While Nido and Miguel Amaya have been trending to splitting time behind the plate, Tuesday's game will be the second consecutive one on the bench for Nido. The last time Nido did not play in back-to-back games was near end of June. Amaya is batting eighth in the lineup Tuesday after going 1-for-3 with two walks in Monday's 3-1 win over the Brewers.
