Alejandro Kirk

Alejandro Kirk went 1-for-4 with a solo home run on Thursday against the Guardians.

Fantasy Impact

Kirk's home run, his first of the year, left the bat at 105.5 miles per hour, one of the hardest balls he has hit all year. Kirk makes a ton of contact - his 11% strikeout rate ranks in the top five percent of the league - but he just isn't hitting the ball nearly as hard as he did last season. There's more power in his bat than he's shown, so even in single-catcher formats, he should be worth starting going forward.

Alejandro Kirk went 2-3 with a walk and two singles in the Blue Jays loss to the Yankees on Thursday night.

Fantasy Impact

With Danny Jansen on the IL, Kirk is getting a chance to catch more often. Though it has been a slow start to the season, Kirk came through on Thursday and was the only Blue Jays hitter to collect more than one hit. The team was limited to just five on the night. Kirk should see regular at-bats behind the plate while Jansen is out, and at DH when he returns.

Alejandro Kirk collects two hits and one walk in Wednesday's game against the Phillies.

Fantasy Impact

Kirk is vying for more at-bats in the Blue Jays lineup and he is certainly making a good impression. Kirk has a .625 batting average and a 1.825 OPS with a home run so far this spring.

Alejandro Kirk homered in the first inning and later doubled during Toronto's 10-4 drubbing of Pittsburgh.

Fantasy Impact

Kirk had 189 plate appearances last season which resulted in a slash line of .242/.328/.436. The third-year catcher is currently being drafted at No. 236.55 and he will have some value given the cast of hitters surrounding him.

Alejandro Kirk went 3-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs Tuesday as the Blue Jays defeated the Yankees by a 5-1 score.

Fantasy Impact

Kirk picked up the start at designated hitter as the Blue Jays are trying to keep his bat in the lineup. Kirk is sharing time with Danny Jansen at catcher and Reese McGuire is also in the mix. Kirk has three homers in his last two games and if he continues to hit well will find at-bats in the lineup.
