Cubs manager Craig Counsell said after Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Reds that Amaya will be placed on the 10-day injured list due to left oblique strain, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

He was removed in the fifth inning of Saturday's game after suffering the injury while throwing to second base on an Elly De La Cruz steal attempt. Amaya will return to Chicago to undergo further testing and determine the severity of the strain, but the 26-year-old backstop could be facing a lengthy stint on the IL. Moises Ballesteros will likely be recalled from Triple-A Iowa to serve as the backup catcher behind Carson Kelly while Amaya is recovering from his injury.

The Marlins transferred Brantly (lat) to the 60-day injured list Saturday.

Brantly landed on the injured list April 21 with a strained right lat, and moving to the 60-day IL will ensure he remains out until at least late June. He'll concede his spot on the 40-man roster to Janson Junk, who was selected to the active roster Saturday.

Maile cleared outright waivers and accepted his assignment to Triple-A Omaha on Saturday.

Maile was DFA'd by the Royals this past Monday, but he'll remain in the organization after clearing waivers. He is slashing .286/.434/.381 with one steal, one homer and 10 RBI across 53 plate appearances in Triple-A this season. Maile made three major-league appearances for Kansas City in May, going 3-for-8 with a solo home run and an additional run across those outings.

Narvaez is not in Boston's starting lineup for the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against Baltimore.

Narvaez went 1-for-4 with a double in the Red Sox's 6-5 win in Game 1. Connor Wong will step behind home plate and bat eighth in Saturday's nightcap.

Amaya was removed from Saturday's game against the Reds due to a left oblique strain, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Amaya had to come out of the game after throwing to second base on an Elly De La Cruz steal attempt. The 26-year-old backstop has been splitting time fairly evenly behind the plate with Carson Kelly, though the latter could take on an everyday role if Amaya's injury forces him onto the injured list.

Alvarez isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Dodgers.

Alvarez will get a chance to rest Saturday after going 0-for-5 with a walk and two strikeouts in Friday's 13-inning loss. Luis Torrens will take his place at catcher and bat sixth.

Smith isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mets.

Smith will get a breather after going 1-for-4 with an RBI, two runs scored and two walks during Friday's 13-inning affair. Dalton Rushing will get the nod at catcher instead and bat eighth.

Dingler is not in the Tigers' starting lineup against the Guardians on Saturday.

Jake Rogers will start behind home plate and bat ninth in Saturday's contest. Dingler is in the midst of a seven-game hitting streak, going 11-for-26 (.423) with two RBI over that span.

Kelly isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Reds.

Kelly has been alternating starts behind the dish with Jacob Amaya as of late, and after going 1-for-4 with a walk and a run scored in Friday's contest, Kelly will give way to his timeshare partner Saturday.

Quero isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rangers.

After a strong start to his big-league career, Quero is now just 1-for-16 in his last six games and will take a seat Saturday to regroup. Matt Thaiss will fill start at catcher and bat seventh.
