Miguel Amaya: Breaking News

Goes deep in loss

Amaya went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 8-3 loss to the White Sox. Amaya batted ninth and provided a small jolt in the sixth inning when he launched his third home run of the year, though the Cubs already trailed 7-0 at that point. The 27-year-old catcher is in a clear backup role to Carson Kelly at the moment, which limits his overall fantasy upside, but Amaya can provide some offense when given the opportunity to start.

Homers in loss

Amaya went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 12-4 loss to the Dodgers. Amaya lifted his second home run of the season in the fifth inning against Roki Sasaki. This was the catcher's 18th appearance of the year through 27 team games, while Carson Kelly has played in 21 contests so far. Kelly has also been a bit better offensively with a .900 OPS compared to a .728 OPS for Amaya, so it doesn't appear as if the playing time split with change anytime soon.

Role declining

Amaya is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates. Amaya had a brief surge in playing time to begin April, but he appears to have slid back into more of a part-time role while Moises Ballesteros has reasserted himself as the Cubs' preferred option at designated hitter. The Cubs will keep Amaya on the bench for the third time in four games.
