Andrés Giménez Fantasy Stats

Toronto Blue Jays infielder Andres Gimenez (wrist) is starting at shortstop and will bat eighth for Toronto on Tuesday on the road at Fenway Park against the Boston Red Sox and left-hander Payton Tolle, per MLB.com. Gimenez is back in action for Tuesday's series opener after he was scratched from Sunday's series finale against the New York Yankees with a wrist injury. The 27-year-old glove-first player obviously wasn't dealing with a very serious injury. With Gimenez returning, utility man Ernie Clement will move back over to second base on Tuesday. Gimenez has limited upside offensively with below-average power and speed, which is why he's rostered in only 13% of Yahoo leagues. He comes into Tuesday's tilt with a .222/.269/.351 slash line, .621 OPS, six home runs, 30 RBI, seven stolen bases, and 16 runs scored across his 68 games played in 2026. Gimenez has really struggled against southpaws, too, going 9-for-55 (.164) against them with just one of his six home runs against them this year.

The Toronto Blue Jays announced that they scratched infielder Andres Gimenez (wrist) from the starting lineup on Sunday against the division-rival New York Yankees with left-wrist soreness. Ernie Clement will make the start at the 6 on Sunday for the Jays while batting seventh against Yankees right-hander Will Warren. Davis Schneider enters the starting nine and will man the keystone for Toronto. For now, we'll consider Gimenez to be day-to-day with his wrist injury. The 27-year-old Venezuelan infielder could be back for Tuesday's series opener against the division-rival Boston Red Sox after a scheduled day off on Monday if his injury isn't serious. Gimenez remains mostly a glove-first player as the Blue Jays' starting shortstop. He doesn't carry much fantasy appeal due to his lack of upside with the bat. Gimenez comes into Sunday's action with a weak .222/.269/.351 slash line, .620 OPS, six home runs, 30 RBI, seven stolen bases, and 16 runs scored in 243 plate appearances across his 68 games played. He has cleared 10 home runs twice in his six-year MLB career, and not since 2023.

Toronto Blue Jays infielder Andres Gimenez was the team's offense on Monday night in their 8-5 loss to the division-rival Tampa Bay Rays at the Rogers Centre. Gimenez went 2-for-4 at the plate with two home runs, five RBI, and two strikeouts out of the eight-hole in the batting order. It was the 27-year-old Venezuelan's first career multi-homer game in his seventh year in the big leagues, and he's now up to five long balls in 38 games to start the 2026 campaign. Gimenez is not known for his power from the left side of the plate. In fact, he's mostly known as a strong glove on the middle infield. In his six years in the big leagues, he has hit double-digit home runs only twice, and not since 2023 with the Cleveland Guardians. Gimenez had seven round-trippers in 101 regular-season games with Toronto in his first season with the team in 2025. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect more power from Gimenez moving forward, and he's currently rostered in only 22% of Yahoo leagues.

Toronto Blue Jays infielder Andres Gimenez (undisclosed) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Boston Red Sox. Gimenez is back in the mix after sitting out the last two games for what seems like rest purposes. Jays' manager John Schneider said Gimenez was available off the bench on Monday, but is banged up right now. Regardless of the reasoning, Gimenez is at shortstop and batting ninth on Tuesday. He has done a nice job, slashing .287/.313/.468 with three home runs and 16 RBI this season. He is more of a deep league option at the moment, but could see his value rise if he keeps swinging the bat well.

Toronto Blue Jays manager John Schneider said he's giving a "banged-up" shortstop, Andres Gimenez (undisclosed), a breather on Monday against the Boston Red Sox, according to Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet. It explains why Gimenez will be missing a second straight game, but he will be available off the bench if needed. Ernie Clement got the start at the 6 on Monday in the series opener for Toronto, while Lenyn Sosa made the start at the keystone against Red Sox left-hander Ranger Suarez. Fantasy managers will want to check back to see if the 27-year-old Gimenez is back in the lineup for Game 2 of the series on Tuesday at Rogers Centre. The Venezuelan infielder has always been known as a glove-over-bat player, but Gimenez is off to a strong start offensively in 2026, hitting .287 (27-for-94) with three home runs, 16 RBI, four steals, and eight runs scored in his first 26 games played. Gimenez has never reached the 20-homer mark in his six MLB seasons, and after back-to-back 30-steal seasons in 2023 and 2023 with Cleveland, he has only stolen 16 bases since, including his four from 2026.

Toronto Blue Jays infielder Andres Gimenez has cooled off slightly after a red-hot start to the 2026 season, but he continues to provide steady production as the team navigates multiple injuries. Gimenez is in his second year with Toronto and is slashing .278/.328/.444 through 15 games. He has reduced his strikeouts this season, though his power has not matched his peak offensive years in 2022 and 2023. Gimenez should continue to see consistent opportunities as Toronto works through injuries, keeping his fantasy value stable.

Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Andres Gimenez has established himself as an intriguing waiver wire option for fantasy managers with his hot start to the 2026 season. The 27-year-old is in his second year with Toronto and owns an .848 OPS with two home runs in nine games. Known for his defense, Gimenez has taken a step forward with the bat this season and is worth adding as he continues to produce. It is worth noting that he has also shown a positive trend in reducing strikeouts over his career, something for fantasy managers to keep an eye on as he looks to continue this production from the bottom end of the Jays lineup.

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.
