TORONTO — Cubs catcher Miguel Amaya was carted off the field in the top of the eighth inning against the Blue Jays after beating out a single and appearing to hurt his lower left leg upon contact with the base.
It was Amaya’s first game back after being reinstated from the 60-day IL (strained left oblique) on Tuesday.
Amaya hit a ground ball to Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette and raced up the first base line. As Amaya’s left foot hit first, his leg buckled, and he went flying.
