Alejandro Kirk Needs A Couple More Rehab Games
3 years agoToronto Blue Jays manager Charlie Montoyo said that catcher Alejandro Kirk (hip) needs "a couple more games" before he's ready to be activated from the injured list. "He's still young so he's still got to catch some games in Triple-A. That's going to be good for him," Montoyo said. Kirk has been out since early May with a left hip flexor injury. Danny Jansen returned from the injured list on Saturday, too, so Kirk won't be guaranteed regular playing time when he returns to Toronto. Montoyo sees Reese McGuire continuing to see plenty of playing time. McGuire has earned it by slashing .302/.350/.406 with a homer, 14 runs scored and six RBI in 96 at-bats so far in 2021, giving him some value in two-catcher leagues while he continues to see most of the playing time behind the dish in Toronto.
