Alejandro Kirk

Kirk has the bat to to be a fantasy asset if he can stay in the lineup, particularly with catcher eligibility. He is a career .315 hitter with a .918 OPS in the minors, and had a strong, albeit short, stint in the majors last year during when he had a .983 OPS in nine games. The biggest obstacle for Kirk is that the Blue Jays have two solid defensive catchers in Danny Jansen and Reese McGuire, and although they could put Kirk at DH, they have plenty of other options for that position. In other words, Kirk needs to hit and hit early to cement a lineup spot. If he does, he's got top-10 catcher potential pretty easily.

Fantasy Impact

Entering the lineup as the designated hitter, Kirk's RBI single in the sixth provided Toronto with a couple of insurance runs. As the postseason nears, Kirk seems to be a mainstay in Toronto's lineup.
