The Chicago Cubs placed Miguel Amaya on the 10-day injured list Sunday morning and selected fellow catcher Reese McGuire from Triple-A Iowa.
The move involving Amaya was expected after he sustained a left oblique strain on a throw to second base during the fifth inning of Chicago's 6-4 loss to the Cincinnati Reds on Saturday. Veteran Carson Kelly is expected to move into the starting job.
'It was my normal throw to second base but it felt weird there,' Amaya told reporters after the game. 'I felt discomfort. I tried to throw again and sadly couldn't keep in the game. It's sad I am going to be out, I don't know how long. We will wait for the results and see what is going on in there.'
Amaya, 26, is batting .280 with four home runs and 25 RBIs in 27 games this season.
McGuire, 30, has played in 355 career games with the Toronto Blue Jays, Chicago White Sox and Boston Red Sox. He is batting .280 with three homers and 19 RBIs in 22 games this season with Iowa.
