Alejandro Kirk Goes for X-Rays After Being Hit on the Hand
MLB.com's Keegan Matheson reports that Toronto Blue Jays catcher Alejandro Kirk (hand) will head for X-rays on his left hand after he was hit by a pitch on Friday night in the Game 6 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers. The good news is that the X-rays sound precautionary, according to manager John Schneider. Kirk was hit by Dodgers right-hander Roki Sasaki in the bottom of the ninth inning and was lifted for a pinch-runner. The pitch didn't appear to hit him squarely in the hand, but the Blue Jays want to make sure the starting catcher doesn't have a fracture in his hand. If Kirk is unable to play in Game 7 of the World Series on Saturday night, Tyler Heineman would get the nod behind the dish. Kirk has been a big part of Toronto's postseason success this year, hitting .242 (16-for-66) with five homers and 13 RBI, and he's gone 6-for-21 with two homers and six RBI in the Fall Classic.
