Sitting Saturday Amaya isn't in the Cubs' lineup for Saturday's game against the Nationals.

Impact Amaya has been white-hot recently, going 13-for-26 with two homers, 13 RBI and seven runs scored over his last seven games. He'll get a chance to rest Saturday while Christian Bethancourt starts behind home plate and bats ninth.

Sitting out afternoon game Amaya is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Pittsburgh.

Impact Amaya was in there for the first two games of the series, piling up six hits and driving in six runs. However, it's a matinee for Wednesday's series finale, so the hot-hitting catcher will grab a seat. Christian Bethancourt will be behind the plate for the Cubs.

Continues hot streak Monday Amaya went 4-for-5 with two doubles, two runs scored and four RBI in Monday's 18-8 win over the Pirates.

Impact Amaya has been on fire lately, and he kept rolling Monday. The catcher went 0-for-1 off the bench Sunday, but otherwise he's gone 12-for-17 over his last five games with five extra-base hits. Amaya had yet to really take off at the MLB level before this stretch of games, though the 25-year-old could be turning a corner. While he's unlikely to stay this hot, Amaya could be poised for a big finish as Chicago's top option behind the plate.

Resting up Sunday Amaya is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

Impact Amaya will get a breather for the matinee contest after starting each of the past three games behind the plate. Christian Bethancourt will handle the catching duties for the Cubs in the series finale in Miami.

AUGUST 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Records three more hits in easy win Amaya went 3-for-4 with a walk, a double and two runs scored in Saturday's 14-2 win over the Marlins.

Impact Amaya has been on a hot streak at the plate, as he's gone 8-for-12 with two home runs, five total runs scored and seven RBI over his last three games. That's upped the catcher's season-long average from .212 to .233, and as the unquestioned starter in Chicago with only veteran Christian Bethancourt around for depth, Amaya should have plenty of opportunities to build on his recent success.

Blasts seventh home run Amaya went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and two runs in Friday's 6-3 win against the Marlins.

Impact Amaya hit a grand slam in Thursday's win against the Tigers, and Friday hit another homer, going deep in consecutive games for the first time in his career. The 25-year-old has taken over as the Cubs regular catcher, starting 14 of their last 17 games. Amaya is in the midst of the best stretch of his young career, hitting .283/.298/.587 with four home runs and 13 RBI over his last 17 games and should continue to see regular at-bats going forward.

Launches grand slam Amaya went 3-for-4 with a grand slam and an RBI single during Thursday's 10-2 win over Detroit.

Impact Amaya started and finished the Cubs' scoring barrage, getting the team on the scoreboard in the second inning with a two-out grand slam off Kenta Maeda before plating Pete Crow-Armstrong in the seventh for Chicago's 10th run. In 275 plate appearances, Amaya is slashing .221/.277/.333 with six home runs.

AUGUST 22, 2024 • Associated Press

Sitting down Wednesday Amaya isn't in the Cubs' lineup for Wednesday's game versus Detroit.

Impact Amaya will get a chance to regroup Wednesday after being held hitless in nine at-bats over his last three games. Christian Bethancourt will catch instead for right-hander Jameson Taillon and bat ninth.

AUGUST 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Hits fifth home run Friday Amaya went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 7-6, 10-inning win over the Blue Jays.

Impact Amaya has only five home runs this season in 86 games, though he's gone deep twice in 10 contests so far this month. The catcher is batting .258 in August with a .797 OPS, which are both ahead of his season-long rates. Amaya will see his fantasy value increase if he can maintain his recent level of performance.

Drives in two Saturday Amaya went 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Saturday's 3-1 win over the White Sox.

Impact Amaya is now riding a modest two-game hitting streak, but it's been a struggle overall for the catcher. He has just a .588 OPS through 83 games, which is a 100-point drop from his figure last season as a rookie. The 25-year-old was a fairly well-regarded prospect on his way up to the majors, but that has yet to translate to significant offensive success. Amaya should continue to see regular playing time, however, as journeyman Christian Bethancourt is the only other catching depth currently on the MLB roster.
