Toronto Blue Jays catcher Alejandro Kirk left Tuesday's 6-2 loss against the Baltimore Orioles with a left elbow contusion, the team announced.
The 25-year-old was 0-for-1 with one RBI when he was removed from the game. Brian Serven took over behind the plate and would be the team's full-time fill in at catcher should Kirk miss extended time, following the trade of Danny Jansen to the Boston Red Sox.
