Alejandro Kirk sitting again for Blue Jays against Rays
Toronto Blue Jays catcher/designated hitter Alejandro Kirk is not in the starting lineup for Thursday afternoon's series finale against left-hander Shane McClanahan and the Tampa Bay Rays.
What It Means:
Kirk is absent from the lineup for a second straight game. Gabriel Moreno will start behind the plate and George Springer will be the designated hitter.
Moreno has a $2,000 salary on Thursday and numberFire’s models project him for 5.0 FanDuel points. Springer has a $3,800 salary and is projected for 11.1 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Blue Jays' implied total (3.68) is No. 10 in the majors out of 16 active teams today.
