Andrés Giménez - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Stays hot in Saturday's win Gimenez went 4-for-5 with an RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's extra-innings win over the A's.

Impact The 27-year-old has come flying out of the gate this season, going 6-for-8 in two games with a triple, a steal and four RBI. Gimenez is shifting over to shortstop on a full-time basis this season after mainly playing second base during his big-league career so far -- the last time he saw more action at the six was in 2021 with Cleveland. Gimenez won't stay that hot at the plate for long, but he should have no trouble improving on last year's .598 OPS if he stays healthy.

Powers Jays to Opening Day win Gimenez went 2-for-3 with a walk, a two-run triple and an RBI single in Friday's 3-2 win over the Athletics on Friday.

Impact Gimenez gave the Blue Jays their first runs of the 2026 season in the fifth inning, when he belted a two-run triple off Luis Severino. Gimenez followed that up with an RBI single in the ninth, which brought Kazuma Okamoto home to give Toronto the Opening Day victory in front of a home crowd. It's been a busy start to 2026 for Gimenez, who played a key role in Team Venezuela's triumph in the World Baseball Classic over Team USA. He saw his slash line drop last year in what was his first campaign with the Blue Jays but will look to get back to the kind of form he had in 2022 with the Guardians, when he recorded an .837 OPS with 20 steals, 17 homers and 69 RBI in 557 plate appearances.

Swipes first bag of spring Gimenez went 2-for-3 with a run scored and a stolen base in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Pirates.

Impact Getting the start at shortstop and batting ninth, Gimenez nabbed his first steal of the spring in the fifth inning off the battery of Dennis Santana and Henry Davis. The 27-year-old infielder is coming off a rough first season with the Blue Jays in which he managed a weak .598 OPS and swiped only 12 bags in 14 attempts, but Gimenez indicated at the beginning of camp that he was bothered by a high-ankle sprain late in the year. If he stays healthy and gets more comfortable with his new team after Toronto's run to the World Series, he could regain the form that saw him steal exactly 30 bases in both 2023 and 2024 for Cleveland while slashing a more palatable .252/.306/.368.

Impact The 27-year-old infielder was an overall disappointment in his first season with Toronto, slashing a career-worst .210/.285/.313 and swiping just 12 bases after back-to-back 30-steal campaigns for Cleveland. Gimenez will shift to shortstop on a full-time basis in 2026, and while his defense should still be an asset, his ability to stay healthy and provide some value with his bat and legs would be a welcome sight in a Jays offense that will be adjusting to the offseason departure of Bo Bichette.
