Cubs' Miguel Amaya: Tallies three hits in win
Amaya went 3-for-4 with a triple, a run scored and two RBI in Monday's 9-2 win over the Athletics.
Amaya batted ninth and did his part to contribute to Chicago's 18-hit barrage. The catcher recorded just his second triple of the season and snapped an 0-for-7 slump that extended over his last five appearances. 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
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. Amaya had yet to really take off at the MLB level before this stretch of games, though the 25-year-old could be turning a corner. While he's unlikely to stay this hot, Amaya could be poised for a big finish as Chicago's top option behind the plate.

Cubs' Miguel Amaya: Records three more hits in easy win
Amaya went 3-for-4 with a walk, a double and two runs scored in Saturday's 14-2 win over the Marlins.
Amaya has been on a hot streak at the plate, as he's gone 8-for-12 with two home runs, five total runs scored and seven RBI over his last three games. That's upped the catcher's season-long average from .212 to .233, and as the unquestioned starter in Chicago with only veteran Christian Bethancourt around for depth, Amaya should have plenty of opportunities to build on his recent success.

Amaya went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and two runs in Friday's 6-3 win against the Marlins.
Amaya went deep in consecutive games for the first time in his career after hitting a grand slam in Thursday's win over the Tigers. The 25-year-old has taken over as the Cubs' regular catcher, starting 15 of 19 games in August while slashing .271/.286/.563 with four of his seven home runs on the season, and 13 RBI of his 31 RBI.

Cubs' Miguel Amaya: Hits fifth home run Friday
Amaya went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 7-6, 10-inning win over the Blue Jays.
Amaya has only five home runs this season in 86 games, though he's gone deep twice in 10 contests so far this month. The catcher is batting .258 in August with a .797 OPS, which are both ahead of his season-long rates. Amaya will see his fantasy appeal increase if he can maintain his recent level of performance, as he's fairly locked into the No. 1 role behind the plate for the Cubs, with only veteran Christian Bethancourt joining him on the roster currently.

Cubs' Miguel Amaya: Drives in two Saturday
Amaya went 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Saturday's 3-1 win over the White Sox.
Amaya is now riding a modest two-game hitting streak, but it's been a struggle overall for the catcher. He has just a .588 OPS through 83 games, which is a 100-point drop from his figure last season as a rookie. The 25-year-old was a fairly well-regarded prospect on his way up to the majors, but that has yet to translate to significant offensive success. Amaya should continue to see regular playing time, however, as journeyman Christian Bethancourt is the only other catching depth currently on the MLB roster.

Cubs' Miguel Amaya: Goes deep in win
Amaya went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Cardinals.
This was Amaya's first home run since July 13 and just his fourth of the year. The young catcher has yet to deliver a true offensive breakout at the MLB level with a career .215 average and .626 OPS across his first two seasons along with just nine total long balls. Working in Amaya's favor is a clear grip on the starting job at the moment, with light-hitting journeyman Christian Bethancourt as the only other backstop currently on the active roster.
