X-Rays Come Back Negative on Alejandro Kirk's Hand
Updating a previous report, X-rays on Toronto Blue Jays catcher Alejandro Kirk's left hand came back negative and "showed no fractures," according to Shi Davidi of Sportsnet. Kirk will be ready to play in the deciding Game 7 of the World Series on Saturday night at the Rogers Centre against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 26-year-old Mexican backstop was lifted for a pinch-runner in the top of the ninth inning in the Game 6 loss on Friday night after he was hit by a pitch from right-hander Roki Sasaki, but he avoided any fractures in his hand and should start in Game 7. It's great news for the Blue Jays as they seek their first World Series championship in over 30 years, as Kirk has gone 6-for-21 (.286) with two home runs and six RBI in six games during the Fall Classic. He has five long balls and 13 RBI in 17 total postseason games this year.
