The Toronto Blue Jays announced after last night's game that Alejandro Kirk was headed for X-Rays and they have announce the results.
After the game 6 loss, Schneider told reporters that Kirk was headed to get X-Rays done after being hit by a pitch in the 9th inning of game 6.

Roki Sasaki ended up hitting Kirk right on the hand in the 9th inning which forced him to leave the game as Myles Straw came in to replace him as a pinch runner.

Kirk then had X-Rays done on his wrist to make sure there was no fractures or serious injury there.
The results came back negative as there seems to be no fracture on his hand and the team is expecting him to be ready to play for game 7 unless so unexpected pain arises.
Alejandro Kirk said X-Rays on his hand showed no fracture and that he'll be ready to play tomorrow.
This is huge for the Blue Jays who would have been in some big trouble without Kirk behind the plate for game 7 as Tyler Heineman has seen little to no action since the end of the regular season.
Not only would not having Kirk been a problem behind the plate but would have also certainly hurt their offense as Kirk has shown up time and time again so far this post-season.
