Cubs catcher Miguel Amaya was carted off the field after he took an awkward fall while reaching first base during Chicago’s 4-1 win over the Blue Jays.

The injury occurred in the top of the eighth inning after Amaya hit a chopper to shortstop and was attempting to beat out the throw at first at Rogers Centre on Wednesday night.

When Amaya reached the bag, he appeared to plant his left foot on the corner of the bag, which led to him rolling his ankle and being popped into the air before falling hard on the ground. 4

As soon as the play stopped, it was clear he was in immediate pain, as first base coach Jose Javier and the team trainer came over to check him out.

After several moments of being looked at, he was placed on a cart and taken off the field.
