Alejandro Kirk searches for rhythm at the plate following his return from the injured list
Kirk has struggled to regain his timing since returning from a significant thumb injury, batting just .176 over his last 14 days. Despite the personal slump, he remains the everyday starter behind the plate for a Blue Jays team that sits at 44-49 in the AL East and is currently riding a two-game win streak. His role is secure after recently being reinstated from the 60-day injured list, providing immediate defensive stability to the rotation.
The recent cold stretch is a far cry from Kirk's 20-homer campaign last season or our projection of a .264 batting average and 75 RBIs. While his current .185 season average is underwhelming, it is heavily skewed by a limited sample of only 23 games. Fantasy managers should expect a return toward his career baseline soon, as his plate discipline remains intact with six walks over the last 30 days suggesting his eye for the zone is still sharp.
Toronto concludes their road trip with a three-game weekend set in San Diego. Kirk draws a favorable run of matchups against remaining starters JP Sears and his 4.70 ERA, followed by Walker Buehler and German Marquez, both of whom carry ERAs north of 5.00 and WHIPs above 1.40. Given the general lack of quality options at the catcher position and these vulnerable opposing pitchers, Kirk should be kept in active lineups. Start.
