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.

Alejandro Kirk went 3-for-4 with a three-run home run, a double, and two total runs scored in Sunday's 8-0 win over Oakland.

Kirk was activated from the 60-day injured list Tuesday and optioned to the minors. He recalled on Friday after Blue Jays catcher Danny Jansen was placed on the 10-day injured list with a hamstring strain. Kirk will most likely split catching duties with Reese McGuire but has a chance to secure a starting role. Fantasy managers in two-catcher formats can look to add Kirk after he hit .225 with three homers and eight RBI over 17 games in 2021.
