Yes, I will work every Kirby video game into a title reference at some point.
A.J. Andrews starts a new week with the same old problem: Blue Jays are getting injured. This time it's Kirby Yates, who will miss weeks with a flexor strain in his pitching arm. She discusses what will need to be done to make up for Yates' absence and how the Blue Jays might have prepared for this happening. Then she salutes the youngsters of the spring with the help of some fans. It's mostly more Alec Manoah praise. Finally, she addresses a suggestion seen on Blue Jays Twitter in regards to bringing back a certain garbage person to pitch for the team with Yates injures. She explains why that is a terrible idea.
