Blue Jays’ Alejandro Kirk: Collects four hits, exits early

Kirk was removed from Friday’s game against the Brewers with an apparent left arm injury, Rob Longley of the Toronto Sun reports.

The 23-year-old was struck by the bat on a backswing during the bottom of the seventh inning, and he was lifted from the contest during a pitching change after the at-bat. Kirk was a major producer prior to leaving the game, as he went 4-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored. The Blue Jays also have an 8-2 lead, so the team could simply be exercising caution late in the contest. Kirk should be considered day-to-day until more information is available.
