Blue Jays' Alejandro Kirk: Plays hero in four-RBI effort
Kirk went 2-for-4 with a home run, four RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 6-5 win over the Rangers.
With the Blue Jays down 3-0 in the seventh inning, Kirk got hold of a Robert Garcia changeup and drove it the other way for a two-run homer. After Texas struck back for two more runs in the top of the eighth, the backstop completed the comeback in the bottom of the frame with a two-run single off Phil Maton. The long ball was Kirk's eighth of the season and his first since June 19, snapping a 36-game drought, while the multi-RBI performance was his first since July 11. Despite those dry spells, he's still slashing .296/.355/.403 through 98 contests on the season with 52 RBI, 11 short of the career high he set in 2022. Friday's steal was also the first of his career.

Blue Jays' Alejandro Kirk: Tracking toward return Sunday
Kirk (concussion) is tentatively on track to play a rehab game with Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday before being activated from the 7-day injured list Sunday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.
Kirk was diagnosed with a concussion after taking a foul tip off the mask in a game this past weekend. However, he has recovered well since then, and as long as he keeps progressing well, he'll be in line for a minimum-length absence. Tyler Heineman has been handling the primary catching duties for the Blue Jays since Kirk went down.

Blue Jays' Alejandro Kirk: Goes on concussion IL
The Blue Jays placed Kirk on the 7-day injured list Sunday after he was diagnosed with a concussion.
After being struck in the catcher's mask by a foul tip in the third inning Saturday, Kirk was pulled from the contest and sent in for further evaluation. With tests confirming a concussion, he won't be eligible to return until at least Aug. 3, though fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised if Kirk needs more than a week to exit the concussion protocol. Ali Sanchez was called up from Triple-A Buffalo to provide the Blue Jays with another option behind the plate, but Tyler Heineman will handle starting duties in Kirk's absence.
