Riding pine Friday Gimenez is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Mariners.
Impact Make it two straight absences for Gimenez. He is not known to be dealing with any sort of injury or illness, so it seems Amed Rosario may have leapfrogged Gimenez at shortstop. Harold Ramirez and Jordan Luplow have been in center field the past couple days with Rosario at short and batting second.
MAY 14 • ROTOWIRE
Not starting Thursday Gimenez isn't starting Thursday's game against the Mariners.

Through 80 plate appearances, Gimenez has two home runs, four stolen bases, five RBI and nine runs scored. He'll likely remain in a platoon role with Amed Rosario at shortstop for the foreseeable future.

Impact Gimenez has now been on the bench against eight of the last 10 lefties that Cleveland has faced. Even with that protection from same-sided pitching, he's having a very tough time at the plate, hitting just .176/.222/.324 with a 31.5 percent strikeout rate. Amed Rosario, who's hitting just .188/.253/.313 himself, will start at shortstop in his absence.

Sits after six straight starts Gimenez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins, Joe Noga of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Impact With southpaw J.A. Happ on the hill for Minnesota and a team off day coming Thursday, Cleveland manager Terry Francona determined that Wednesday was a good opportunity to give Gimenez a breather. The young shortstop had started each of the past six games, going 2-for-18 to drop his season average to .192.
APRIL 28 • ROTOWIRE

APRIL 23 • ROTOWIRE
On bench Tuesday Gimenez is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the White Sox.
Impact Gimenez will sit with lefty Carlos Rodon on the mound for Chicago. He's started against every righty that Cleveland has faced this season but has been on the bench for six out of nine lefties, including each of the last four. Amed Rosario starts at shortstop in his absence.
APRIL 20 • ROTOWIRE
Takes seat Sunday Gimenez is not in the lineup Sunday versus the Reds.

The shortstop also stole second base after getting hit by a pitch late in the contest. Gimenez is slashing .235/.297/.500 this season, but he has collected four hits -- three for extra bases -- in his past 11 at-bats.

The 22-year-old Gimenez has struggled at the plate so far. He's batting .194 with a homer, three RBI, five runs scored and a steal across 34 plate appearances.
APRIL 17 • ROTOWIRE
Not in Wednesday's lineup Gimenez isn't starting Wednesday's game against the White Sox, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.
Impact Gimenez will take a seat for the second time in the last three games with left-hander Carlos Rodon starting for Chicago. Amed Rosario will start at shortstop Wednesday while Jordan Luplow takes over in center field.
APRIL 14 • ROTOWIRE
Not in lineup Gimenez is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.
Impact Gimenez hits the bench against lefty Carlos Rodon, with Amed Rosario getting the start at shortstop. So far this season, Gimenez has started against all three righties that Cleveland has faced while starting against three out of six southpaws. That suggests he'll remain in something between a platoon and a true everyday role going forward.
APRIL 12 • ROTOWIRE
Fills stat sheet Gimenez went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, a walk and two total runs scored in Saturday's 11-3 win over the Tigers.
Impact Gimenez got a start against Tigers southpaw Tarik Skubal on Saturday. The 22-year-old Gimenez hit his eighth-inning homer off reliever Tyler Alexander. Through 18 plate appearances, Gimenez has recorded just three hits and one walks with five strikeouts. His homer was his first extra-base hit of the season. He's been Cleveland's primary shortstop this season with more than a just a platoon role with Amed Rosario at the position. That said, Gimenez hasn't done a whole lot at the plate yet.
APRIL 11 • ROTOWIRE
Sits against southpaw Gimenez is not in the lineup for Monday's game against Kansas City.
Impact Gimenez will sit against southpaw Danny Duffy, just as he did against the left-handed Tarik Skubal on Sunday. He may not be quite in a strict platoon, as he did get the Opening Day start at shortstop against lefty Matthew Boyd, but the early indications are that he's something less than an everyday player. Amed Rosario will start for the second game in a row in his place.
APRIL 5 • ROTOWIRE
On bench Sunday Gimenez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.
Impact Gimenez will cede shortstop duties to another former Mets organization mate in Amed Rosario, who is making his first career start for Cleveland. Due to his superior glovework, Gimenez is expected to serve as Cleveland's primary shortstop this season, though he could see more frequent rest days if his early struggles at the plate continue for a prolonged period. Gimenez has recorded one hit in eight at-bats through Cleveland's first two games.
APRIL 4 • ROTOWIRE
Looks like everyday player Gimenez appears to have secured the everyday shortstop job for Cleveland as Opening Day approaches, Tom Withers of the Associated Press reports.
Impact Gimenez and Amed Rosario opened camp in contention for shortstop duties, but Cleveland has since experimented with Rosario in the outfield more frequently, signaling that he's now being viewed as more of a utility player. The decision doesn't come as a surprise given the superior defense Gimenez demonstrated during both players' time together in the Mets organization, but the 22-year-old has continued to display some promise at the plate this spring, too. Though he has yet to attempt a steal in 13 games, Gimenez is slashing .286/.342/.571 with two home runs and two triples.

Emerging as shortstop favorite Gimenez may be emerging as the favorite for Cleveland's starting shortstop job, as Amed Rosario is expected to begin working out at other positions, Zack Meisel of The Athletic rep...
Impact Gimenez and Rosario looked set to battle for playing time with the Mets, and that battle continues in Cleveland after both came over in the Francisco Lindor trade. The way Rosario is being used suggests the team views Gimenez as the better option at shortstop, but he's not exactly a proven MLB talent, so winning the job on Opening Day doesn't guarantee he'll keep it all year. Gimenez looked decent enough in his 49-game debut last season after skipping Triple-A, hitting .263/.333/.398 with three homers and eight steals.
