Adds another steal Gimenez went 1-for-3 with a double and a stolen base in Saturday's 4-3 loss to Boston.

Impact The speedy infielder has recorded three steals in his last six games. Gimenez stole third base in Saturday's contest after his lone hit, a sixth-inning double. He's seeing the better part of a timeshare with Owen Miller at second base, although it's not quite a true platoon situation. Gimenez has a .197/.273/.299 slash line with two home runs, nine steals, seven RBI and 14 runs scored in 144 plate appearances.

Swipes bag in loss Gimenez went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 8-5 loss to Boston.

Impact The infielder recorded his first multi-hit effort in 18 games since he was recalled from Triple-A Columbus on Aug. 7. Gimenez has notched four steals in that span, but he's just 10-for-46 (.217) at the plate. He's added two home runs, seven RBI, eight stolen bases and 14 runs scored through 141 plate appearances overall.

AUGUST 31, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Steals base as pinch runner Gimenez stole a base after pinch running for Franmil Reyes during Friday's 4-3 loss to Boston.

Impact Gimenez picked up his seventh theft of the year to get into scoring position in the the ninth inning. Boston reliever Adam Ottavino retired Wilson Ramos, Bradley Zimmer and Owen Miller to leave Gimenez stranded. The versatile infielder will mainly see starts versus right-handed pitching as he competes with Owen Miller and Yu Chang for playing time around the infield.

AUGUST 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Day off Friday Gimenez will hit the bench Friday against the Red Sox.

Impact Gimenez has been in the lineup just once against a lefty since returning to the majors in early August. He'll sit here against southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez, with Owen Miller starting at second base.

AUGUST 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

On bench Wednesday Gimenez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers.

Impact The lefty-hitting Gimenez will bow out of the lineup with southpaw Jake Latz on the hill for Texas. Rather than usual platoon mate Ernie Clement, Cleveland will go with the righty-hitting Owen Miller at second base in Gimenez's stead.

AUGUST 25, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting Saturday Gimenez isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Angels.

Impact Gimenez has only started against five left-handers this year, and he'll take a seat Saturday with southpaw Reid Detmers on the mound for the Halos. Ernie Clement will start at the keystone and bat ninth.

AUGUST 21, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Gets breather Wednesday Gimenez isn't starting Wednesday against Minnesota.

Impact Gimenez went 3-for-11 with two runs, a stolen base, four walks and a strikeout across the last four games. Ernie Clement will start at second base and bat ninth.

AUGUST 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Nabs another steal Gimenez went 1-for-2 with two walks and a stolen base in Saturday's 6-4 loss to Detroit.

Impact The infielder got a start at shortstop to give Amed Rosario a breather. Gimenez was one of two Cleveland hitters to reach base three times in the contest. He's already recorded two stolen bases in six games since he was recalled from Triple-A Columbus, but he's gone just 2-for-15 with three walks in that span. Despite the poor batting, Gimenez will slide over to second base and bat eighth in Sunday's series finale in Detroit.

AUGUST 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting Friday Gimenez will not start Friday against Detroit.

Impact Gimenez appears set to fill a platoon role down the stretch. Since his return to the big leagues last weekend, he's started against all four righties Cleveland has faced while sitting against all three lefties, including Friday's starter Tyler Alexander. Ernie Clement will be the second baseman in his absence.

AUGUST 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Notches steal Wednesday Gimenez went 0-for-2 with a walk and a stolen base in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to Oakland.

Impact The infielder worked a double steal with Oscar Mercado in the seventh inning. Gimenez is up to five stolen bases in 97 major-league plate appearances this season. He's gone 1-for-10 with a walk and one RBI in four games (three starts) since he was recalled from Triple-A Columbus. The 22-year-old will likely compete with Ernie Clement for playing time at second base, which could lead to a strong-side platoon for Gimenez.

Where do Bradley Zimmer, Andres Gimenez fit in Cleveland Indians' plans beyond 2021? Paul Hoynes and Joe Noga look at where Zimmer and Gimenez could play down the stretch as an audition for next season.

AUGUST 9, 2021 • CLEVELAND.COM

Back in big leagues Gimenez was called up by Cleveland on Saturday.

Impact Gimenez came with plenty of hype over the offseason following a trade from the Mets, but he fell flat on his face, hitting just .179/.226/.308 in 29 games. He won't be in the lineup immediately upon his promotion, but he seems to have earned another shot at a regular role, as he hit .287/.342/.502 in 52 games for Triple-A Columbus. J.C. Mejia was optioned in a corresponding move.

AUGUST 7, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Not a big-league option yet Gimenez won't be called up within the next week despite Thursday's trade that sent Cesar Hernandez to the White Sox, Joe Noga of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact While Gimenez struggled significantly at the big-league level to open the season, he's hit a much better .274/.335/.492 for Triple-A Columbus and would be Hernandez's logical replacement. The Venezuelan infielder is in the process of establishing permanent residency in the United States, however, meaning he couldn't take part in next week's trip to Toronto. Owen Miller will get the call-up for now, but it's possible Gimenez gets an opportunity when Cleveland crosses the border again to host the Tigers on Aug. 6.

Amed Rosario to center? Try Andres Gimenez at short? Taking the long view - Terry's Talkin' Tribe The Indians best bet to settle down center field is now playing shortstop. That should change after the All-Star break.

JULY 3, 2021 • CLEVELAND.COM

Power binge at Triple-A Gimenez has homered in five straight games for Triple-A Columbus.

Impact It's been an impressive week for the 22-year-old infielder, who had only one long ball in 20 minor-league games prior to the surge. Through 25 contests, Gimenez is slashing a mediocre .245/.300/.471 with six homers, 13 RBI, 12 runs scored and a stolen base across 113 plate appearances. He started the year in Cleveland, and an extended run of success in the minors could earn him a call-up at some point.

Demoted to Triple-A Gimenez was optioned to Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

Impact The 22-year-old began the season as the primary starter at shortstop for Cleveland, but he started only one of the past five games and will make his way to Triple-A. Gimenez posted a .179/.226/.308 slash line and 29.4 percent strikeout rate through 85 plate appearances this season.

MAY 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

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, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting Thursday Gimenez isn't starting Thursday's game against the Mariners.

MAY 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Swipes fourth bag Gimenez went 0-for-2 with a hit-by-pitch, a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Cubs.

Impact Gimenez got aboard after he was plunked by Cubs starter Adbert Alzolay in the fifth inning. Gimenez then stole second and scored on a Cesar Hernandez two-run home run. 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.

MAY 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

On bench versus lefty Gimenez is not in the lineup Friday against the Reds.

Impact Gimenez finds himself on the bench for the second consecutive game with Wade Miley on the mound for Cincinnati. Amed Rosario will start at shortstop while Harold Ramirez roams center field for Cleveland.

MAY 7, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Sits against southpaw Gimenez will hit the bench against lefty Danny Duffy and the Royals on Thursday.

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.
