Cubs Catcher Miguel Amaya expects an injured list of tense left diagonal

Cincinnati – Cubs Catcher Miguel Amaya described the throw on the second basis as “normal”.

The pitch was high and inside, the red hitter Austin Hays turned out of the way. But Amaya still had room to maneuver in position and get rid of the ball quickly, but not quickly enough to use Speedy Elly de la Cruz than he steel.

In the 6: 4 defeat of the Cubs against the Reds on Saturday, the fifth inning had already started to disguise itself. And when Amaya twitched after the throw, it got much worse.

Amaya had to leave slope with a tense left, the cubs announced during the game. He is expected to go to the injured list, said manager Craig Consell. Amaya will probably take imaging on Tuesday and give the Cubs a better feeling for his injury time bar.

“I'm a competitor. I love to be on the field, especially with this team,” said Amaya after the game.

“Sad that I will be outside. I don't know how long. But I will only be from the outside to root the team.”

Amaya's litter came in third place from Hays' bat without outs. Trainer Nick Frangella jogged for the play to examine Amaya.

Amaya tested the injury by putting both hands over his head. He banged back to withdraw to Pitcher Colin Rea, but stopped in the middle of the motion and shook his head.

He left the field with Frangella and Carson Kelly took over behind the plate.

“His leadership, who deals with the staff, how he takes a professional bat,” said Kelly about Amaya's effects: “Only all -round, a really good player, good teammate, and he is a large part of this team. And it is unhappy to see.”

In his third major League season, Amaya was up to date for a career year. It beats .280 with an ops .818.

“He swung the bat very, very well,” said Counell. “He has a number of big hits. So we hope for the best.”

Consell would not say who would replace Amaya if he actually went to the injured list.

“The game just came over,” said Cotunell when he was asked whether the prospect ball esteros No. 4 would receive the call.

Ballesteros had his first taste of the majors last week as the designated batsman when the left field player Ian Happ went to the 10-day injury list, also with a sloping injury. In five games, Ballestos went with three RBI 3-on-16.

During his stay in the majors, Ballesteros (21) sat down with the start battery, raised information and asked questions.

He started less than 250 games at Catcher in the minors.

“He is a great child,” said Kelly.

“I think he has a lot of talent and I think he is ready to learn and will continue to learn.”

The catchers Reese McGuire and Carlos Perez have also put together solid seasons at Triple-A. Both have a lot of experience in the major League behind the plate.

The three-run fifth of the red received an insult to the injury and gave them a 6-1 lead. Rea had thrown 108 parking spaces, the second highest total of his career when he finally came out of the inning to complete his start.

The Cubs broke away, with Kelly contributing a single and a solo homerun. They had a runner in second place and the binding run on the plate with one in the ninth inn.

“It is difficult to complain about everything we did aggressively today,” said Punsell, quoting hard contact and beautiful games from the Reds Center Field Field Friedl. “We did a good job. ''
