Kiner-Falefa was originally in the Blue Jays’ starting lineup for Monday’s series opener against the Astros before being scratched when his knee felt sore during pre-game warmups.
Houston won the game 3-1.
In a corresponding move, the Blue Jays recalled infielder Leonardo Jimenez from Triple-A Buffalo and activated him for Tuesday’s game.
Kiner-Falefa was 16-for-38 with a double, three home runs and four RBIs in the 10 games leading up to the series with the Astros.
