Overview

  • Andrés Giménez was placed on the 10-day injured list retroactive to Saturday after suffering a left ankle sprain that forced him out of Friday’s extra-inning win over the Los Angeles Angels.
  • Right-hander Ryan Burr was reinstated from the 60-day injured list following a shoulder inflammation rehab stint in Triple-A Buffalo.
  • Outfielder Joey Loperfido was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo after batting .278 with nine home runs and 36 RBIs this season.
  • Right-hander Lazaro Estrada was optioned back to Triple-A Buffalo and outfielder Will Robertson was designated for assignment to clear roster space.
  • The Blue Jays, who lead the AL East, have leaned on their minor-league pipeline to navigate injury setbacks and maintain their divisional advantage.
