"Kirk was injured on Apr. 3, taking a foul ball off his thumb and leaving that game against the Chicago White Sox. It led to the surgery which has now kept him out of the last 25 games, and counting."
"Brandon Valenzuela has been called up and has performed well defensively, accumulating an 84th percentile framing rate and a 94th percentile Fielding Run Value."
"So far, Valenzuela has slashed .209/.261/.419 with three home runs. At first glance, it's nothing to write home about and it certainly doesn't replace Kirk's missed production."
