MLB News: Cubs Dealt Huge Injury Blow
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Half of the Chicago Cubs' productive catching tandem is expected to be out at least a month as a result of an injury, manager Craig Counsell told reporters on Tuesday. Miguel Amaya is expected to be out 4 to 6 weeks with an oblique strain. Amaya, who underwent an MRI after suffering the injury, is slashing .280/.313/.505 this season. Expected to be the starter coming into the season, Amaya had ceded time to Carson Kelly, who is among the most surprising offensive forces in baseball this season. Kelly, 30, is slashing .301/.425/.612 in his 10th major league season. Still, losing Amaya until at least the All-Star break is a big blow to the top team in the National League Central as they look to keep both their catchers fresh for what promises to be an exciting stretch run in Chicago. More to come on this story from Newsweek Sports.
