Alejandro Kirk Leaves With Thumb Injury as Blue Jays Lose on White Sox Walk-Off

Toronto now waits on X-ray results to set its catching plan.

Overview

  • In the 10th inning at Chicago, Blue Jays catcher Alejandro Kirk took a foul tip off his left thumb and left the game.
  • Manager John Schneider said Kirk went for X-rays and described the issue as all thumb and no wrist.
  • Backup Tyler Heineman entered and made a wide throw on a bunt that allowed the tying run to score.
  • One batter later, Tristan Peters delivered a single that gave the White Sox a 5-4 walk-off win.
  • The team is evaluating next steps, with Schneider pointing to Triple-A catcher Brandon Valenzuela as the likely call-up if needed.
