Kirk appeared to tweak something while running out a foul ball. He remained in the game but was later removed for Danny Jansen.

The 22-year-old is coming off a multi-home run performance on Friday against the Braves. In 17 games this season, Kirk is slashing .225/.326/.475 with three home runs and five RBI.
