CINCINNATI – In the span of about a week and a half, catcher Reese McGuire went from opting out of his minor-league deal with the Cubs to homering for the major-league team against the Reds on Sunday.

As expected, the team put catcher Miguel Amaya on the 10-day injured list with a strained left oblique Sunday, after he exited with the injury the day before. In a corresponding move, the Cubs selected McGuire, who’d re-signed with the club on a minor-league deal just days before.
