Blue Jays GM Ross Atkins said Thursday the team wants to "learn more and see more" before locking Kikuchi into the rotation for 2023, Rob Longley of the Toronto Sun reports.

Kikuchi is the leading candidate to start Wednesday in Baltimore, Mitch Bannon of SI.com reports.
Scouting Report
Has the stuff to rack up impressive strikeout totals. Plus, he has deception in his delivery (which is typical for most Japanese hurlers). Lacks optimum size for a starting pitcher in Major League Baseball, so stamina may be an issue here. Needs to adjust to North American batters.
Long Range Potential: Quality left-hander.
