Kirk, a key All-Star last year, is rehabbing after a thumb injury requiring surgery and is now cautiously returning with a rehab home run. Manager John Schneider plans a gradual reintroduction, aiming for Kirk to catch four out of seven games initially — forcing the Jays to carry an extra catcher. Meanwhile, Brandon Valenzuela and Tyler Heineman are splitting time, with Valenzuela showing power but leading the league in errors, and Heineman offering solid defense but poor hitting. How the Jays handle this catching puzzle could determine if they make a playoff push this year. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
