Lands on IL Chirinos was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday with a left oblique strain, Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic reports.

Impact Chirinos exited Wednesday's game with the injury. Considering he'll be eligible to return from the IL with only a couple games remaining in the regular season, it's very possible the veteran catcher has seen his last action of 2021. If so, Chirinos finishes the season with a .227/.324/.454 slash line and five home runs in 112 plate appearances.

Leaves with injury Chirinos was removed from Wednesday's loss to the Twins with an apparent left side injury, Tony Andracki of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Impact Chirinos went 0-for-2 before suffering the injury during the seventh inning while at the plate, and he was forced to exit during the middle of his at-bat. The 37-year-old should be considered day-to-day until the team updates his status.

Goes deep Wednesday Chirinos went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's loss to the Phillies.

Impact Chirinos connected in the eighth inning with a runner on for his fifth home run of the season, which tied the game at 4-4. The veteran catcher has been relegated to a backup role with Willson Contreras back healthy, so Contreras can probably be avoided in most fantasy leagues due to the lack of playing time, though he could be a budget option in daily formats on days when he's in the starting lineup.

Out of lineup Sunday Chirinos is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

Impact Chirinos will take a seat after making three straight starts behind the plate. Austin Romine enters the lineup in his place, batting seventh.

Out of Friday's lineup Chirinos is not in the lineup Sunday against the Royals.

Impact Chirinos has a modest four-game hit streak in which he is 8-for-15 with a homer, three doubles, three RBI and four runs, but he'll take a seat for Friday's contest. Austin Romine will work behind the plate in his place.

AUGUST 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Back in lineup Sunday Chirinos is starting at catcher and batting seventh in Sunday's game against the Marlins.

Impact Chirinos got a breather Saturday but will return to the lineup Sunday, bumping Austin Romine to the bench. With Willson Contreras (knee) on the injured list, Chirinos should continue serving as the team's top catcher with Romine as the backup. Chirinos has done well offensively with a .956 OPS and four home runs in 25 games.

AUGUST 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Takes seat Saturday Chirinos is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Marlins.

Impact The veteran gets a day off after going 4-for-6 with three extra-base hits, including a home run, in Friday's contest. Austin Romine is catching and batting sixth Saturday.

AUGUST 14, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Records four hits, home run Friday Chirinos went 4-for-6 with two doubles, a solo home run and two runs scored in Friday's loss to the Marlins.

Impact Chirinos had his best game in a Cubs uniform, and it was just his second multi-hit performance of the season. The 37-year-old catcher should see more playing time in the near term with Willson Contreras (knee) on the injured list, though Chirinos shouldn't be expected to replicate Friday's line anytime soon considering he entered the contest batting just .184 this year through 24 games.

The 37-year-old has gone 0-for-3 with a walk and two strikeouts across the last two games.
