Miguel Amaya was playing in his first game since May 24 on Wednesday night when the Chicago Cubs faced the Toronto Blue Jays. Amaya had been sidelined with an oblique injury, and the hope was that his return would provide a spark for the Cubs' offense. Instead, there was more heartbreak for the Cubs and Amaya as the young catcher suffered a devastating injury.
