Miguel Amaya, the 26-year-old Chicago Cubs catcher, suffered a left ankle sprain during Wednesday night's game against the Toronto Blue Jays, which forced him to return to the injured list just one day after being reinstated. During the eighth inning, Amaya was trying to beat out an infield single when his foot landed awkwardly at the front of the base. He twisted in the air after the impact and fell back, which immediately concerned the team staff.
Cubs trainers eventually transported him off the field by cart, with Amaya covering his face with a towel. Cubs manager Craig Counsell confirmed that X-rays didn't show a fracture, but the ankle was significantly swollen.
This injury is a setback for Amaya, who had just returned from a previous left oblique strain that had sidelined him since May 25. Before that injury, he was performing well, batting .280 with four home runs and 25 RBIs in 27 games.
