Lobaton was reassigned to minor-league camp Friday, Gordon Wittenmyer of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
Austin Romine (knee) has been out since March 6 and is questionable for Opening Day, so this move could open the door for P.J. Higgins to grab the backup catcher role behind Willson Contreras, at least early in the season. The veteran Lobaton, who last appeared in the majors in 2018, gives the Cubs some organizational depth.
