Amaya has struggled to find a ton of offensive consistency this year, though his playing time alone gives him a decent amount of fantasy value at a thin position.

Cubs' Miguel Amaya: Continues hot streak Monday
Miguel Amaya went 4-for-5 with two doubles, two runs scored and four RBI in Monday's 18-8 win over the Pirates.Amaya has been on fire lately, and he kept rolling Monday. The catcher went 0-for-1 off the bench Sunday, but otherwise he's gone 12-for-17 over his last five games with five extra-base hits.
