Miguel Amaya: Breaking News

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.

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.

Amaya is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays. Moises Ballesteros will enter the starting nine at designated hitter in place of Amaya, who had been included in the lineup as the Cubs' DH or catcher in six of the previous seven games. Amaya has compiled a .929 OPS through 20 plate appearances on the season and should continue to see fairly steady playing time while he's swinging a hot bat.
