Cubs' Miguel Amaya leaves game vs. Reds with oblique strain

CINCINNATI -- Miguel Amaya will be placed on the injured list after the Chicago Cubs catcher suffered a left oblique strain during Saturday's game against the Cincinnati Reds.

Manager Craig Counsell said after the 6-4 loss that Amaya will undergo imaging testing in Chicago on Monday or Tuesday.

Amaya suffered the injury during the fifth inning on a throw when Reds shortstop Elly De La Cruz stole second base.

"It was my normal throw to second base but it felt weird there," Amaya said after the game.
