The Chicago Cubs have reinstated catcher Miguel Amaya and right-hander Javier Assad from the 60-day injured list. Chicago also optioned right-hander Nate Pearson to Triple-A Iowa and designated infielder Jon Berti for assignment in moves announced before Tuesday's game at Toronto.

TORONTO — The Cubs reinstated right-hander Javier Assad and catcher Miguel Amaya from the 60-day IL before their series opener against the Blue Jays on Tuesday. Assad was expected to start Tuesday’s game, instead of right-hander Ben Brown, who was originally listed as the probable starter.

Miguel Amaya’s minor league rehab is over as he’s spent the maximum 20 days on it. So unless the Cubs find something physically wrong with him and restart his time on the injured list, he’s going to be activated on Tuesday and added to the major league roster.
