Blue Jays catcher Alejandro Kirk, who was out with a fractured left thumb, was reinstated from the 60-day injured list on Friday.
In addition, the club recalled infielder/outfielder Davis Schneider; placed outfielder Daulton Varsho on the injured list, retroactive to Wednesday, with left wrist inflammation; and designated catcher Tyler Heineman for assignment.
The 27-year-old Kirk started a bit slowly in his first five games of 2026 before the injury set him back. He was 3-for-20 with a homer, a double and a pair of RBIs. In six rehab games, Kirk had one homer and three walks in 18 at-bats.
