Alfonso Rivas - Moves to 60-day ILThe Cubs transferred Rivas (finger) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday, Russell Dorsey of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
ImpactRivas had already been ruled out for the season after landing on the 10-day IL on Sept. 21 with an injury to his right middle finger. His move to the 60-day IL frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for minor-league catcher Tyler Payne, who will serve as the backup to starter Erick Castillo in Sunday's season finale in St. Louis. The transaction won't affect Rivas' recovery timeline, as the 25-year-old rookie is expected to be in line for a relatively normal offseason.

Tyler Payne - Joins Cubs for season finaleThe Cubs selected Payne's contract from Triple-A Iowa on Sunday, Russell Dorsey of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
ImpactPayne will serve as the backup to starting catcher Erick Castillo on Sunday in the Cubs' season finale in St. Louis after Willson Contreras (hip) joined four other Chicago backstops on the injured list. A 30th-round pick in 2015, the 28-year-old Payne spent most of the campaign at Double-A Tennessee, posting a .654 OPS over 59 games. He'll most likely be outrighted off the 40-man roster over the winter.
