Alejandro Kirk was expected to play a rehab game in Buffalo, yet after Tyler Heineman sustained an injury to the head, Kirk's presence was required at the major league level. There was an assumption that Kirk would not need another rehab assignment, as he had only been sidelined for a week. Additionally, Leo Jimenez is heading to Buffalo, leading to a situation where the team will have three catchers available while assessing whether Heineman will need time on the injured list (IL).
Alejandro Kirk was originally set to play a rehab game in Buffalo, but the need arose for him in the major league team after Tyler Heineman was injured.
