Blue Jays' Leo Jimenez: Stuck on Triple-A IL
Triple-A Buffalo placed Jimenez on its 7-day injured list March 27 due to an unspecified injury.
Jimenez wasn't known to be nursing an injury during spring training before Toronto optioned the infielder to Triple-A on March 21. The 23-year-old slashed .229/.329/.358 over 210 plate appearances with Toronto in 2024, but he'll have to overcome the injury and will likely need to perform well for extended period at Triple-A before getting another look with the big club.

Blue Jays' Leo Jimenez: Returns to action Sunday
Jimenez (illness) went 1-for-1 with a walk and a run scored and played four innings at shortstop in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Phillies in Grapefruit League play.
Though Bo Bichette drew the start at shortstop Sunday, Jimenez's ability to come off the bench and play four innings in the field suggests he's healthy again after he had been scratched from the lineup for Friday's game against the Yankees due to an illness. Jimenez is vying for a utility role after slashing .229/.329/.358 over 210 plate appearances as a rookie with Toronto in 2024.

Blue Jays' Leo Jimenez: Getting regular run at keystone
Jimenez will start at second base and bat seventh in Thursday's game against the Rangers.
Jimenez will pick up his fourth consecutive start at the keystone, despite going 1-for-9 with three strikeouts over the previous three contests. Even though Jimenez has produced a weak .224/.332/.365 slash line over 184 plate appearances with the big club this season, the Blue Jays could nonetheless stick with him as their primary second baseman the rest of the way with Will Wagner (knee) done for the season and with Davis Schneider having taken on more playing time in left field of late.

Jimenez (finger) is starting at second base and batting seventh against St. Louis on Sunday.

He appears to be over both issues and will be in action for the series finale.

Blue Jays' Leo Jimenez: Tending to sore foot
Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Wednesday that Jimenez is tending to a left foot injury, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports. "He's pretty sore pushing off of [the foot]," Schneider said. So we want to be careful with it."
Even though he typically starts against left-handed pitchers like the Mets' Sean Manaea, Jimenez will take a seat for Wednesday's series finale after he was hit in the foot in Tuesday's 6-2 win. Jimenez has now been struck by pitches in four consecutive games and five times in seven September contests, so the infielder should benefit from a day off. The lefty-hitting Will Wagner will pick up a rare start against a lefty Wednesday in Jimenez's stead.

Blue Jays' Leo Jimenez: Back on bench Wednesday
Jimenez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.
Jimenez had started in five of the previous six games, but he'll take a seat Wednesday as the Blue Jays go with Will Wagner and Ernie Clement as their starters at the middle-infield spots. The right-handed-hitting Jimenez has mostly been deployed on the short side of a platoon in the infield with either Wagner or Addison Barger, but Jimenez could lose out on that role when shortstop Bo Bichette (calf) returns from the injured list.

After missing Toronto's previous two games with a knee injury, Jimenez returned Tuesday with a two-hit performance, including a two-run homer off Carson Spiers in the fifth inning. All three of Jimenez's homers this season have come in his last six games -- he's gone 5-for-18 with six RBI in that span. Overall, the 23-year-old shortstop is slashing .232/.310/.404 with 12 runs scored and nine RBI across 113 plate appearances this year while filling in for Bo Bichette (calf).
