On Wednesday, they called up P. J. Higgins from Triple-A Louisville.
Higgins' name may sound vaguely familiar to NL Central baseball fans, but it's been a while. Higgins played for the Chicago Cubs in both 2021 and 2022. He hasn't played at the major league level since then.
He's capable of catching and playing both corner infield spots, and he has returned to the majors because of the injury to backup catcher Jose Trevino. Higgins is 32 now, and it wasn't a sure thing that he would ever make it back to the major leagues. So even though the circumstances aren't great, it's a cool moment for Higgins.
