Cubs reinstate catcher Miguel Amaya and right-hander Javier Assad from the 60-day IL
Chicago also optioned right-hander Nate Pearson to Triple-A Iowa and designated infielder Jon Berti for assignment in moves announced before Tuesday's game at Toronto.
Assad was slated to start the series opener against the AL East-leading Blue Jays.
The 26-year-old Amaya had been on the injured list since May 25 with a left oblique strain. He hit .280 with four homers and 25 RBIs in 27 games prior to the injury.
The addition of Amaya gives Chicago three catchers on its active roster. The Cubs also have Carson Kelly and Reese McGuire behind the plate.
Assad had been sidelined by a left oblique strain. The 28-year-old is 14-11 with a 3.40 ERA in 70 major league appearances, including 47 starts.
Pearson went 0-1 with a 9.20 ERA in 11 games across three stints with the Cubs this season.

Paige Spiranac's Rival Accused Of Wearing 'Inappropriate' Outfit
Paige Spiranac's Rival Accused Of Wearing 'Inappropriate' Outfit originally appeared on The Spun. Paige Spiranac is the best in the game at the golf content creation world, but she has rivals. The former University of Arizona and San Diego State University golfer has built up a massive following on social media. She has millions of followers across X, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube. Spiranac, who grew up in Colorado, has often faced criticism for wearing "inappropriate" outfits on the course. Spiranac has clapped back at those haters. 'I just try to embrace who I am when I talk about that,' the athlete and influencer told PEOPLE at the "Happy Gilmore 2" premiere. 'My main message is always do what you want to do, wear what you want to wear,' she declared. 'And for me, that's wearing things that are a little bit more sexy, more form-fitting, but also just finding your own individual style.' Spiranac's rivals are no different. Claire Hogle, one of Spiranac's "rivals" on social media, has developed a big following, too. However, like Spiranac, she has also faced criticism for wearing "inappropriate" outfits on the course. "Instagram golf girl ; wear short skirt, pull up skirt, look cute. Winner," one fan said in response to her outfits. However, Hogle is clapping back, suggesting that the golf course can be a fashion show, if you want it to be. Hogle can certainly choose to wear whatever she wants out on the golf course, as long as the course's rules are OK with it, anyway. Whatever she is doing is working, too. Hogle has amassed more than one million followers on Instagram. She still trails Spiranac by a couple of million, but it's a highly impressive number, to say the least. What do you make of her golf course outfits? Sound off in the comments below.

Braves defeat Mets 11-6 as Michael Harris II's grand slam caps 9-run inning
Michael Harris II hit a grand slam Wednesday night to cap Atlanta's biggest inning in almost five years — a nine-run outburst in the fourth that propelled the Braves to an 11-6 comeback win over the slumping New York Mets. The Braves fell behind 6-0 in a game delayed 95 minutes by rain before storming back against David Peterson and Reed Garrett (3-5). Peterson issued four free passes in the fourth, including a bases-loaded walk of Nick Allen, and gave up Jurickson Profar's three-run double before Marcell Ozuna greeted Garrett with an RBI single. Three batters later, Harris hit a 417-foot homer to straightaway center. The nine-run inning was the biggest for the Braves since Sept. 9, 2020, when they scored 11 times in the second inning of a 29-9 win over the Miami Marlins. Ozuna hit a two-run homer in the sixth. Aaron Bummer (2-2), the first of five Braves relievers to follow Carlos Carrasco, tossed 2 1/3 scoreless innings. Carrasco gave up six runs in two innings. Pete Alonso had a two-run single and Cedric Mullins lofted a sacrifice fly in the first before Juan Soto hit a 407-foot, two-run homer and Jeff McNeil had an RBI double in the second. Peterson surrendered a season-high six runs over a season-low 3 1/3 innings. The Mets have lost 12 of 14. Harris' grand slam was his first since last Aug. 14. The Mets gave up at least nine runs in an inning for the ninth time in franchise history and the first since Apr. 16, 2019, when the Philadelphia Phillies scored 10 runs in the first inning of a 14-3 win. The three-game series concludes Thursday night, when Mets RHP Kodai Senga (7-4, 2.30 ERA) opposes Braves RHP Bryce Elder (4-9, 6.12).
