Blue Jays scratch Ernie Clement and Alejandro Kirk
Both Kirk and Clement seemed to have injured their hand against the Twins last night but after no details were mentions regarding either injury after the game it looked like nothing serious.
The Blue Jays announced their lineup for tonight's game and both players are not in it for the final game of the series.
Let's take the rubber match
Tyler Heineman will be filling in for Kirk at catcher as Addison Barger will be playing third base to replace Clement.
Both Alejandro Kirk & Ernie Clement are absent from #BlueJays' starting lineup tonight.
Not surprising after they each battled their way through last night's game.

The Blue Jays have yet to comment on the significance of the injuries which hopefully means that they are both alright and just taken the day off to be cautious.
Toronto has failed to stay healthy this season but that has not stopped them from winning as they currently lead the American League East by 4 games ahead of the Boston Red Sox.
These two injuries can end up being very costly for the Blue Jays but hopefully it is nothing serious as the team will likely provide more details if it is.
