Amaya had a horrid start to the campaign with a .097/.119/.113 slash line through 68 plate appearances. Apr 30 2025 Amaya is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Amaya will take a seat for the fourth time in six games and may have moved into a part-time role.
