Top prospect Gabriel Moreno will not be activated on Friday when the Toronto Blue Jays open a series against the Detroit Tigers.
The red-hot Alejandro Kirk will be the catcher for Jose Berrios, which also was the case for the right-hander's last start when he struck out a career-high 13 against the Minnesota Twins.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. will be the designated hitter with Cavan Biggio at first base.
Moreno, a catcher, is with the Blue Jays in Detroit after opening the season with triple-A Buffalo. He figures to be activated on Saturday or Sunday, Sportsnet's Ben Nicholson-Smith reports.
Watch the Blue Jays-Tigers game on Sportsnet on Friday at 7:10 p.m. ET / 4:10 p.m. PT.
