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.
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.
