As the Chicago Cubs enter the final weeks of the regular season, they might be getting a valuable player back just in time for the playoffs in Miguel Amaya. The question is whether he might return from the IL before the season is over or get back just in time for the beginning of the Wild Card playoff round.
Amaya has had a nightmare season, going on the injured list in May with a strained oblique. In August, he came back to the Cubs, and his activation was considered a shot in the arm to a team struggling after the trade deadline.
