Chicago Cubs vs. Toronto Blue Jays - News - August 12, 2025 | FOX Sports

Miguel Amaya - Headed back to IL Manager Craig Counsell said after Wednesday's win over Toronto that Amaya was diagnosed with a sprained left ankle, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Impact Amaya needed to be carted off the field after stepping awkwardly on first base in the eighth inning. X-rays came back negative after the incident, but Counsell confirmed that the catcher's sprained ankle will be enough to force him back on the injured list just two days after returning from a significant oblique injury. Carson Kelly and Reese McGuire will likely resume splitting reps behind the plate while Amaya is out.

Matt Shaw - Goes deep, swipes base in win Shaw went 1-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run, an additional run scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Blue Jays.

Impact Shaw had a well-rounded effort in the win, mashing his 10th home run of the season and stealing his 15th base in 17 attempts. While it's been an up-and-down rookie campaign for the 23-year-old, reaching double figures in both of those categories showcases his long-term potential. Shaw has been especially productive in 22 games since the trade deadline with a 1.147 OPS and eight homers, solidifying his job security as the starter at third base.

Shaw also encouragingly held on to his starting job at third base through the trade deadline, though the Cubs did add utility man Willi Castro to provide a bit more infield versatility.
