The Toronto Blue Jays have made a significant roster move, reinstating all-star catcher Alejandro Kirk from the seven-day injured list and activating him for the Sunday matchup against the Kansas City Royals. Kirk's brief hiatus was due to a concussion he sustained after a foul tip struck his face mask during a game against the Detroit Tigers on July 26.

In the corresponding roster changes, Toronto has sent infielder Leo Jimenez to Triple-A Buffalo. This season, Kirk has impressed with a batting average of .304, complemented by seven home runs and 47 runs batted in over the course of 88 games.
