The Blue Jays are activating infielder from the 10-day injured list, reports . In a corresponding move, infielder will be designated for a signment. Kennedy was selected to Torontos roster a week ago. It seemed likely to be a short stay. He was hitting just .207/.309/.259 for Triple-A Buffalo at the time he was called up. His selection was le s about his performance and more about the specific roster needs. The Jays went with a temporary three-catcher setup. was selected to the roster when landed on the concu sion injured list. When Kirk was ready to return, was also banged up after taking a foul Sekou Doumbouya Jersey ball to the mask. They decided to keep all three for a few days, just to be safe, which meant bench infielder had to be optioned out as the corresponding move for Kirks activation. A few days later, the Jays were comfortable enough with the health of Kirk and Heineman to bring back another bench infielder. Jimnez had not yet been optioned for the 10-day minimum, so he couldnt be recalled. Gimnez was still not ready to come off the IL but was beginning a rehab a signment. Kennedy got the roster spot while Gimnez got into game shape. The Jays sent Kennedy to the plate 6 times and he got a hit and a walk, but hes now been squeezed out. Since Kennedy is out of options, he had to be removed from the 40-man. With the trade deadline having pa sed, the Jays will have to put him on waivers. He was pa sed through waivers unclaimed just over a month ago, after being designated for a signment by the Phillies, and could do so again. He now has a .193/.288/.300 line in 163 big league appearances. His Triple-A work is better, with a .284/.395/.443 line and 118 wRC+ dating back to the start of 2023. However, his out-of-options status makes it hard for him to hold a roster spot for very long. If he clears waivers again, hell have to right to elect free agency since he has a previous career outright. Photo courtesy of Kiyoshi Mio, Imagn Images Joe Dumars Jersey
