4 years agoToronto Blue Jays catcher Alejandro Kirk (hip) is expected to miss at least six weeks with a left hip flexor strain, according to Ben Wagner of Sportsnet. Kirk was placed on the injured list on Sunday after suffering the injury during Saturday's game, and according to Wagner's sources it will be six weeks before a potential return to the team. Kirk has been one of the better catchers in fantasy this season, slashing .231/.318/.487 with three home runs and eight RBI in 16 games. The Blue Jays called up prospect Riley Adams to replace Kirk on the roster, but in all likelihood Danny Jansen will get the bulk of the playing time behind the plate. Jansen will not be fantasy relevant despite the increased playing time, as he is slashing .083/.185/.104 in 18 games.--Michael Grennell - RotoBaller
