MEXICO CITY – Catcher Alejandro Kirk, in rehab due to a left hip injury, will not be ready to reappear with the Toronto Blue Jays for the remainder of June, but it is a possibility for the first week of July.
This is how they contemplated it from the exams to the rookie who has not played since May 1, when he left after consuming a turn in a game against the Atlanta Braves, in one of the two small houses of the Canadians in the United States, Dunedin, Florida .
Kirk, who was hitting .225 with 3 homers and 8 RBIs in 17 games, recently participated in an extended practice game and the idea is to assign him to the minors next week.
ALEX Verdugo (.288, 8, 28) entered the activity yesterday with 22 games of two or more hits in 2021, a top figure among the starters of the Boston Red Sox and that he shares with the Dominican Rafael Devers (.276, 15, 30).
Another: The Detroit Tigers returned Isaac Paredes (.143, 1, 2) to their Toledo branch (AAA) with the obvious promise of a future calling in the long journey. He covered a six-game emergency in which he had only three hits, but two were a triple and a homer. In addition to a “walk-off” that was stolen, literally, by the Seattle Mariners outfielder, Jake Fraley.
One more: Sergio Romo (0-0, 5.66) has seven straight, no-run relays for the Oakland Athletics and in his past 18 games, he has a 2.64 ERA, 15 chocolates and 5 walks in 13 2/3 innings.
And, the Los Angeles Dodgers sent their Oklahoma City (AAA) affiliate to their surprise signing of the Mexican League, the left-hander of dual nationality, Vidal Nuño (2-0, 0.00), drawn from the Tijuana Bulls.
On a day like today, Wednesday, June 16, 1971, the Oakland Athletics fired five solo homers to two-time Cy Young winner Denny McLain (4-12), beating the Washington Senators 5×1.
Mike Epstein hit two for four in a row in two games, Joe Rudi added another pair and one Dave Duncan. Vida Blue won (14-2).
On Saturday, June 16, 1973, the “Hermanos Serdán” stadium in Puebla opens and the Pericos celebrate with a 6-0 victory over the Piratas de Sabinas.
