TORONTO – The Toronto Blue Jays have reinstated all-star catcher Alejandro Kirk from the seven-day injured list.

He is also active for Sunday’s series finale against the Kansas City Royals. In other moves, Toronto optioned infielder Leo Jimenez to Triple-A Buffalo.

Kirk was put on IL last Sunday due to a concussion.

The 26-year-old was pulled in the fourth inning of the Blue Jays’ 6-1 win over the Detroit Tigers on July 26 after he took a foul tip off his face mask.

He was replaced by Tyler Heineman shortly after.

Kirk has a batting average of .304 to go along with seven home runs and 47 runs batted in in 88 games this season.
