DETROIT — The Toronto Blue Jays placed All-Star catcher Alejandro Kirk on the seven-day injured list with a concussion on Sunday.
In a corresponding move, the club recalled catcher Ali Sanchez and activated him for the series finale against the Detroit Tigers.
The 26-year-old Kirk was pulled in the fourth inning of Saturday’s 6-1 victory over the Tigers after he took a foul tip off his face mask. He was replaced by Tyler Heineman.
Kirk began Sunday sixth in the majors with a batting average of .304. He has seven home runs and 47 RBIs in 88 games this season.
