Miguel Amaya Activated From Injured List
The Chicago Cubs activated catcher Miguel Amaya (oblique) from the 60-day injured list on Tuesday and designated utility player Jon Berti for assignment in a corresponding move, per the Chicago Sun-Times' Maddie Lee. The Cubs have not released their lineup for Tuesday's game at the Toronto Blue Jays, so it's unclear if Amaya will be in the starting lineup in his first day back in the big leagues. The 26-year-old backstop has been sidelined since May 25 with a strained left oblique. It's definitely a boost for the struggling Cubbies, but Amaya isn't going to have much fantasy value in single-catcher leagues, as he's expected to be the No. 2 to Carson Kelly behind the dish in Chicago. It wasn't like Amaya was slumping at the plate before his injury, though, as he slashed .280/.313/.505 with four long balls, 25 RBI and 14 runs scored in an even 100 plate appearances.
