Amaya leaves game vs. Blue Jays

After the game, Craig Counsell confirmed Amaya suffered a sprained ankle and will need to go on the injured list.

Pirates outfielder Oneil Cruz was placed on the 7-day IL with a concussion.

Cruz had to leave on August 12 after colliding with fellow outfielder Jack Suwinski.

Garcia placed on injured list

The Rangers placed Adolis Garcia on the 10-day IL with a left ankle sprain.

There was good news for the Rangers, as Evan Carter returned from the IL. Carter, before the 13th, hadn’t played since August 1.

Rehab assignments

Blue Jays pitcher Alek Manoah threw 49 pitches for Buffalo (AAA) on August 13 over 1.2 IP. Manoah struck out one and walked three. The right-hander averaged 91 MPH on both his sinker and four-seamer.

Speaking of the Blue Jays, George Springer has been cleared to play. Springer will begin a rehab assignment with Buffalo beginning on the 14th.

Other injury news
