The Cubs added some depth to their infield by claiming Sergio Alcántara off waivers from the Tigers on Friday. 

Alcántara, 24, debuted with the Tigers in 2020 and was 3-for-21 in 10 big league games with a triple, a home run and a RBI. Alcántara split his time at second and third base for Detroit.

Alcántara spent his winter with the Tigres del Licey in the Dominican Winter League, where he slashed .257/.346/.400 with 2 home runs and 8 RBI in 23 games playing shortstop. The Tigres designated Alcántara for assignment on January 29 to make room on their 40-man roster for catcher Wilson Ramos.

In 631 minor league games, Alcántara slashed .256/.340/.318 with 9 home runs and 187 RBI. The Tigers acquired Alcántara in 2017 in a four-player deal that sent J.D. Martinez to Arizona. The Cubs 40-man roster sits at 38 players.
