Why Blue Jays fans should not worry about Alejandro Kirk transferring to 60-day IL | Sporting News This is not a roster move from that fans should stress about.

2 DAYS AGO • SPORTINGNEWS.COM

Moves to 60-day IL The Blue Jays transferred Kirk (thumb) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Wednesday.

Impact Kirk has been on the shelf since April 4 while recovering from left thumb surgery and isn't expected to head out on a rehab assignment until next weekend at the soonest, so his placement on the 60-day IL won't affect his timeline to rejoin the Blue Jays. The transaction will clear up a spot on the 40-man roster for right-hander Austin Voth, who had his contract selected Triple-A Buffalo in a corresponding move.

Eyeing rehab games late next week Kirk (thumb) is aiming to start hitting off a pitching machine this weekend and begin a rehab assignment by the start of the Blue Jays' June 5-14 homestand, Mitch Bannon of The Ath...

Impact Kirk has been catching bullpen sessions and taking live batting practice at the club's spring training complex in Florida, and game action is just around the corner. Assuming he's able to kick off a rehab assignment at the start of the Blue Jays' next homestand, he should be activated by mid-June. Kirk has been shelved since early April after having surgery to repair a fractured left thumb.

Could begin rehab stint next week Kirk (thumb) will be evaluated by the Blue Jays training staff this weekend as he prepares to take the next step in his rehab, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact The backstop has been catching bullpens and taking live BP at the team's spring training complex in Dunedin. Assuming Kirk's surgically repaired thumb checks out OK, he could be cleared for a rehab assignment. The 27-year-old has been sidelined since April 3, and his return to the big-league lineup appears to be drawing close. Brandon Valenzuela and Tyler Heineman will continue to split duties behind the plate until Kirk is activated from the IL.

Impact Kirk is performing all other baseball activities, and the Blue Jays expect to have a better idea by the end of this week when the catcher will be ready for a rehab assignment. The 27-year-old is six weeks removed from surgery to have a screw inserted into his fractured left thumb. It could be a push for Kirk to make it back before the end of May.
