Alejandro Kirk Targets Rehab Assignment Following Thumb Injury

Blue Jays catcher Alejandro Kirk is making progress in his recovery from a thumb injury. He is scheduled to begin hitting off a pitching machine this weekend with the goal of starting a formal rehab assignment by the beginning of Toronto's homestand on June 5. This timeline suggests a mid-June return to the major league roster if he avoids setbacks. Kirk’s return will be a significant boost for the Blue Jays' lineup and defensive depth as they move into the summer months.
