The Toronto Blue Jays have placed all-star catcher Alejandro Kirk on the seven-day injured list with a concussion.
In a corresponding move, the club selected catcher Ali Sanchez to the Major League roster and will be active for Sunday’s series finale against the Detroit Tigers.
The 26-year-old Kirk was pulled in the fourth inning of Saturday’s 6-1 win over the Tigers after he took a foul tip off his face mask.
Kirk is sixth in MLB with a batting average of .304.
He also has seven home runs and 47 runs batted in in 88 games this season.
