KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Toronto Blue Jays have placed centre fielder Kevin Kiermaier on the 10-day injured list with a left hip injury.

Kiermaier left Toronto’s game at Kansas City on Tuesday in the sixth inning.

He has struggled early in his second season in Toronto with a .193 batting average through 22 games.

In a corresponding move, Toronto recalled Addison Barger from Triple-A Buffalo and activated him before Game 3 of their four-game series with the Royals on Wednesday.
