Andrés Giménez Fantasy Stats

Toronto Blue Jays infielder Andres Gimenez was the hero for the Blue Jays on Friday in their 3-2 Opening Day win over the visiting Athletics on Friday, driving home the winning run in the bottom of the ninth inning. Gimenez finished the game 2-for-3 with a two-run triple, an RBI single, and a walk out of the nine-hole. The 27-year-old, who is now playing shortstop for the Blue Jays with Bo Bichette no longer in town, has been riding high of late, also helping Team Venezuela win the World Baseball Classic this spring. Gimenez was an All-Star back in 2022 with the Cleveland Guardians and had 70 total stolen bases from 2022 to 2024, but he's still mostly useful to Toronto for his defensive prowess up the middle. He has a .254/.317/.383 career slash line in 670 career games, and has never reached the 20-home run mark. Offensive performances like Friday night will probably be few and far between for Gimenez, but his speed can be useful in deeper leagues.

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop/second baseman Andres Gimenez helped the Blue Jays get to the World Series in his first season after joining the team via trade, but he had a down year at the plate. He hit only .210 after hitting over .250 in each of his last three seasons in Cleveland, and he only had seven homers and 12 stolen bases after hitting at least nine homers and stealing at least 20 bases in each of his last three seasons. He was limited to only 101 games, mostly by a high ankle sprain, and he admitted this spring training that he continued to play through pain after he returned in mid-August. He'll be sliding from 2B to SS on a full-time basis in 2026, and if he's healthy, he could have a bounce-back season. Since he stole 30 bases in 2024 and 2023, he could be a sneaky source of late-round speed if he's able to stay healthy in his second season in Toronto.

The Toronto Blue Jays announced on Tuesday that they reinstated infielder Andres Gimenez (ankle) from the 10-day injured list and designated infielder Buddy Kennedy for assignment in a corresponding move. Gimenez will return to second base and bat ninth in Tuesday's series opener against the visiting Chicago Cubs and right-hander Javier Assad, who will be making his season debut. The 26-year-old won't carry much DFS appeal at all at the bottom of Toronto's batting order. He's gone 1-for-3 against Assad in his career. Gimenez went 7-for-18 with a steal and three runs scored in five minor-league rehab games, but he's mostly a glove-first guy that doesn't do much for fantasy managers in mixed leagues. He's returning to a .218/.300/.322 slash line with five home runs, 23 RBI, 26 runs scored and 10 stolen bases on the season in 61 games played.

Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Andres Gimenez (ankle) is expected to begin running the bases by Friday in Toronto, according to Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet. Gimenez could begin a minor-league rehab assignment shortly after that if all goes well. The 26-year-old infielder has been out since early July with a sprained left ankle, but if he doesn't have any setbacks, he could be cleared to come off the 10-day injured list by the middle of next week. When fully healthy, Gimenez is the regular starting first baseman for Toronto, although he's a better defender than he is on offense. The Venezuelan left-handed hitter is batting just .218 (46-for-211) on the year with five home runs, 23 RBI, 26 runs scored and 10 stolen bases, making him mostly a middle-infield depth piece for his modest speed in AL-only fantasy formats.

Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Andres Gimenez (ankle) began a running progression on Thursday. This is a positive step forward for Gimenez who has been sidelined since early July due a sprained left ankle. There doesn't appear to be a timetable for his return right now. Jays' manager John Schneider said the first day of running went better than expected for Gimenez. It's unclear if Gimenez will require a minor league rehab assignment before getting back into the mix in Toronto. Gimenez has struggled this season, slashing .218/.300/.322 with five home runs, 23 RBI, and 10 steals in 61 games. He's only worth a look in deep leagues at the moment.

Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Andres Gimenez (ankle) is with the team in Toronto for the start of the second half of the season while doing some defensive work and hitting, according to Shi Davidi of Sportsnet. Gimenez landed on the 10-day injured in early July due to a sprained left ankle, and he was expected to be in a walking boot for five to seven days. The 26-year-old has since ditched the walking boot and is doing some baseball activities, which suggests he could be close to embarking on a minor-league rehab assignment. Ernie Clement got the nod at the keystone in Friday's series opener against the San Francisco Giants, but Leo Jimenez, Will Wagner and Davis Schneider could all see work there until Gimenez returns. Gimenez is more of a defensive asset to Toronto than a fantasy one, as he's hitting just .218 with five homers, 26 runs and 10 steals in 2025.

Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Andres Gimenez (ankle) is undergoing treatment on his ailing left ankle and remains "week-to-week," according to manager John Schneider. Gimenez has been on the 10-day injured list since July 5 with a sprain. The glove-first 26-year-old hit .218/.300/.322 with five homers, 23 RBI, 26 runs scored, and 10 stolen bases in 238 plate appearances before suffering the injury. The surging Jays have turned to a combination of Ernie Clement and Leo Jimenez at the keystone in Gimenez's absence.

Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Andres Gimenez (ankle) was placed on the 10-day injured list before their contest on Sunday against the Los Angeles Angels. Gimenez suffered a left ankle sprain during their contest on Wednesday. He eventually returned to the starting nine on Friday but faced a setback during that game. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status as the team has not provided a definitive timeline. In a corresponding move, the Blue Jays promoted outfielder Joey Loperfido from Triple-A Buffalo. Over his last 11 games, Gimenez has been very productive at the plate, posting a .342/.390/447 slash line with a double and a home run. While Gimenez is sidelined, fantasy managers should expect Ernie Clement and Davis Schneider to see most of the opportunities at the keystone.

Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Andres Gimenez (ankle) is not in the starting nine on Saturday when the Blue Jays continue a series against the Los Angeles Angels. Gimenez suffered an ankle injury during the contest against the Yankees on Wednesday. While he was able to return to the starting nine on Friday, Gimenez was eventually lifted from that game. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status, as he could be in danger of sitting out on Sunday as well. Over his last 11 contests, Gimenez has been one of the most productive hitters in the sport, posting a .342/.390/.447 slash line with one double, one home run, and nine RBI. Through 61 total games this season, Gimenez has held a .218/.300/.322 line. This afternoon, Davis Schneider will cover the keystone and bat in the nine-hole.

Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Andres Gimenez will undergo an MRI on his ankle after reaggravating an injury that originally occurred on Wednesday. He reaggravated it running the bases in Friday's 4-3 extra-innings win over the Angels. For now he's considered day-to-day, but depending the results of the MRI, a trip to the injured list is possible. The 26-year-old already missed a month earlier this season due to a quad injury, so hopefully this new injury won't keep him out long. The left-handed hitter is having a rough year, slashing .218/.300/.322, but had been hitting well recently, going 10-for-21 (.476) over his last six games, including a home run, nine RBI, four runs scored, and a stolen base.
