Cubs catcher Miguel Amaya’s MRI Tuesday on his strained left oblique revealed a likely four- to six-week timeline before he can return to playing major-league games, according to manager Craig Counsell.

“Which means we’re trying to get him back before the all star break,” Counsell said. “That’s probably the goal, see where we get to.”

Catcher Reese McGuire, who the Cubs brought up Sunday as they put Amaya on the 10-day injured list, started for the third straight game on Tuesday.
