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.

Records third steal Gimenez went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Yankees.

Impact Gimenez singled and stole second in the second inning. The infielder has three steals, two home runs, four RBI and six runs scored in 13 games. He's slashing .243/.300/.486 through 41 plate appearances and often hits near the bottom of the order when he plays.

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.

Takes seat Sunday Gimenez is not in the lineup Sunday versus the Reds.

Impact Gimenez is 6-for-20 with two homers, three doubles, six runs, four RBI and two stolen bases over the past six games, but he'll head to the bench Sunday with southpaw Wade Miley starting for Cincinnati. Amed Rosario will take over at shortstop while Jordan Luplow starts in center field.

APRIL 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Homers, swipes bag Gimenez went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a double and a stolen base in Saturday's loss to Cincinnati.

Impact Gimenez knocked a solo shot off Reds starter Sonny Gray in the fourth inning to give Cleveland a lead that stood up up until the ninth. 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.

APRIL 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Notches steal in loss Gimenez went 1-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 10-3 loss to the Reds.

Impact Gimenez hit a single and stole second in the third inning. In the ninth, Gimenez walked and came around to score on a sacrifice fly by Jose Ramirez. 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, 2021 • 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, 2021 • 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, 2021 • 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, 2021 • 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, 2021 • 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, 2021 • 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.

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.

MARCH 6, 2021 • CLEVELAND.COM

Strong start to camp Gimenez is 4-for-7 with one home run, one triple and three RBI through three games in spring training.

Impact The 22-year-old was acquired from the Mets in the Francisco Lindor trade during January and is making a strong first impression with his new team. Gimenez is competing for the starting job at shortstop after making his big-league debut in 2020 and delivering a .731 OPS with three homers and eight stolen bases in 132 plate appearances. Amed Rosario, who came to Cleveland in the same trade, is the primary competition at shortstop after posting a career-worst .643 OPS last season. Gimenez's defensive skillset likely gives him a leg up for the starting role, so he should be able to secure the job if he continues to hit well in spring training.

Impact The move means Gimenez won't have to compete with the incoming Lindor for playing time at shortstop, a battle he would surely lose. Amed Rosario was also shipped to Cleveland in the deal, however, so the pair will continue the battle they began in New York in 2020. Gimenez outperformed Rosario last season, hitting a respectable .263/.333/.398 while stealing eight bases to Rosario's zero. They started together on several occasions last season, with Gimenez appearing at other infield spots, an arrangement which could continue with their new team.

Moves to injured list Gimenez was placed on the 10-day injured list with right oblique tightness after Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Nationals, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Impact The 22-year-old was lifted from Saturday's matinee with the oblique issue, and he'll end up missing the final two games of the season. Gimenez will finish his rookie campaign with a .263/.333/.398 slash line, three homers, 12 RBI and eight stolen bases in 132 plate appearances. Amed Rosario will take over at shortstop for the Mets in the nightcap.

Season could be over Gimenez exited Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Nationals due to right oblique tightness, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports

Impact Gimenez tweaked his oblique during an at-bat in the top of the second inning, and the injury could bring his promising rookie season to an end. If he's indeed sidelined for the final two games of the regular season, Amed Rosario could take over as the shortstop.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Exits with apparent injury Gimenez left Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Nationals with an apparent injury, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Impact Gimenez appeared to tweak something when fouling a ball off in the top of the second inning, and he was replaced by Amed Rosario in the middle of his at-bat. It wasn't clear what kind of injury he suffered, and whether he'll be available for the Mets' final two games of the regular season remains to be seen.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting vs. southpaw Gimenez is not in Thursday's lineup against the Nationals.

Impact Gimenez tied the game at 1-1 in the second inning with his solo shot. It was the third homer of the year for the shortstop. Gimenez has added seven stolen bases, 12 RBI and 22 runs scored across 131 plate appearances.
