Blue Jays' Alejandro Kirk absent from Tuesday lineup

Toronto Blue Jays catcher Alejandro Kirk is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's series opener against right-hander Zach Plesac and the Cleveland Indians.

What It Means:

Kirk started on Monday and went 1-for-4 with a double and 3 strikeouts. Reese McGuire is catching for Hyun Jin Ryu on Tuesday and hitting ninth.

numberFire’s models project McGuire for 8.0 FanDuel points and he has a $2,100 salary on Tuesday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Blue Jays have an implied total of 4.9 runs. Plesac's strikeout percentage this season (15.9) ranks in the bottom sixth percent of the league, but his walk percentage (4.9) is in the top 92nd percentile.
