INJURIES
Scores three times in win Amaya went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double and three runs scored in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Orioles.
Impact Amaya scored three times for the second time in his last three appearances, and he's batting .286 over his last 10 contests with three RBI and nine runs scored. The Cubs have alternated between Amaya and Carson Kelly in seven straight games, giving both players some fantasy appeal but also capping their respective ceilings. Kelly has been a bit better overall with a .763 OPS compared to Amaya's .725 mark, though Amaya is talented enough and seeing enough playing time to make an offensive impact when given the opportunity.

Big game in easy win Wednesday Amaya went 2-for-4 with a walk, three RBI and three runs scored in Wednesday's 23-3 win over the Padres.
Impact Amaya was a bit overshadowed by Chicago's eight home runs on the day, but he still managed a strong performance of his own. The 27-year-old catcher isn't seeing a ton of playing time behind Carson Kelly and came into the contest batting just .226 with no home runs this month, though Amaya is a capable offensive performer when given the opportunity.

Catching in first game of day Amaya will start at catcher and bat eighth in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Mets.
Impact Top backstop Carson Kelly will rest for the early contest of the twin bill, clearing the way for Amaya to draw his 32nd start of the season through the Cubs' first 79 games. Amaya has posted a respectable .721 OPS over 124 plate appearances, but he's unlikely to see a dramatic spike in playing time while Kelly has produced at a similar level (.766 OPS) and is a more established big-league catcher.

Goes deep in loss Amaya went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 8-3 loss to the White Sox.
Impact 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.

APRIL 28 • DODGERSWAY.COM
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.
Impact 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 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.
Impact 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.
