During yesterday’s game against the Atlanta Braves, Blue Jays catcher Alejandro Kirk was 0 for 1 with one walk before having to leave the game after running out a foul ball, later announced as left hip flexor discomfort.
While there is no indication from the club if this is a day to day injury or if the prospect will be missing some time on the injured list, having Kirk out of the lineup will be a significant blow to a batting order that just seemed to click with the return of Teoscar Hernandez and George Springer.
