Toronto places All-Star on injured list, calls up Sanchez for series finale

DETROIT — The Toronto Blue Jays have placed All-Star catcher Alejandro Kirk on the seven-day injured list due to a concussion sustained during Saturday's game against the Detroit Tigers.

The team recalled catcher Ali Sanchez in a corresponding move and activated him for Sunday's series finale.

Kirk, 26, was forced out of Saturday's game in the fourth inning after being struck by a foul tip on his face mask. He was replaced by Tyler Heineman. Entering Sunday, Kirk ranked sixth in the majors with a .304 batting average. He has tallied seven home runs and 47 RBIs across 88 games this season.
