Heineman (head) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Heineman started behind the plate in the first two games of the series with Kansas City but exited Saturday's contest after being diagnosed with a head contusion following a foul tip off his mask. Per Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca, manager John Schneider said that Heineman hasn't developed any concussion symptoms, but he's still viewed as day-to-day. In any case, his brief run as Toronto's No. 1 catcher is over, as the Blue Jays activated Alejandro Kirk (concussion) from the 7-day injured list Sunday.
