Andrés Giménez - Batting cleanup Thursday Gimenez is starting at second base and batting cleanup in Thursday's opener against the Orioles.

Impact He's an atypical cleanup hitter, but Gimenez's fantasy stock receives a boost while he's hitting behind Bo Bichette, Vladimir Guerrero and Anthony Santander. The former Guardian slashed .252/.298/.340 with nine homers during the regular season for Cleveland in 2024.

Nick Robertson - Scrubbed from 40-man roster The Blue Jays designated Robertson for assignment Thursday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Impact Robertson had already missed out of the Opening Day roster after the Blue Jays optioned him to Triple-A Buffalo on March 11, but he'll now be dropped from the 40-man roster entirely with Toronto selecting outfielder Myles Straw's contract in a corresponding move. If he clears waivers, Robertson will remain in the Toronto organization and work in relief at Buffalo.

MARCH 27 • ROTOWIRE

Zach Pop - Cast off 40-man roster The Blue Jays designated Pop (elbow) for assignment Thursday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Impact Pop experienced elbow inflammation coming out of his final Grapefruit League appearance March 17 and was expected to head to the 15-day injured list, but the Blue Jays will instead move him off their 40-man roster. The transaction clears a 40-man spot for outfielder Alan Roden, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Buffalo in a corresponding move. Pop could end up landing on Buffalo's IL if he clears waivers and remains in the Toronto organization.

MARCH 27 • ROTOWIRE

Tommy Nance - Pushed off 40-man roster The Blue Jays designated Nance for assignment Thursday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Impact Nance was unable to secure a spot in the Blue Jays' Opening Day bullpen after logging a 5.06 ERA and 2.25 WHIP in 5.1 innings in Grapefruit League play. He'll end up being squeezed off the 40-man roster as the Blue Jays clear a spot in the bullpen for right-hander Jacob Barnes, who had his contract selected from Triple-A Buffalo in a corresponding move.

MARCH 27 • ROTOWIRE

Easton Lucas - Beginning season in minors The Blue Jays optioned Lucas to Triple-A Buffalo on March 15.

Impact Lucas made eight appearances at the big-league level in 2024 between stops with the Athletics, Tigers and Blue Jays, logging a 10.80 ERA and 2.23 WHIP across 11.2 innings. He retained a spot on the Blue Jays' 40-man roster heading into spring training, but Lucas didn't distinguish himself enough in camp to earn a spot in the Opening Day bullpen.

MARCH 27 • ROTOWIRE

Ryan Burr - Heads to IL The Blue Jays placed Burr on the 15-day injured list Thursday due to right shoulder inflammation, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Impact Burr was unable to make any appearances in the Grapefruit League on account of the shoulder issue, so his move to the IL was fully expected. The right-hander will be eligible to come off the IL on April 8, but he'll likely need more time beyond that before the Blue Jays deem him ready to join the big-league bullpen.

MARCH 27 • ROTOWIRE

Erik Swanson - Lands on IL The Blue Jays placed Swanson (forearm) on the 15-day injured list Thursday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Impact Swanson is working his way back from a median nerve entrapment in his right forearm. He was cleared to resume his throwing program last week, but he'll likely need at least a couple of weeks to fully ramp up and complete a rehab assignment before being activated from the injured list. Once healthy, Swanson projects to serve as a setup arm or middle-innings option in the Toronto bullpen.

MARCH 27 • ROTOWIRE

Daulton Varsho - Heads to IL The Blue Jays placed Varsho (shoulder) on the 10-day injured list Thursday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com.

Impact Varsho produced a .994 OPS over 37 plate appearances as a designated hitter in spring training, but because much of his value is derived from his defense, the Blue Jays will stash him on the IL to begin the season while he waits to gain clearance to play center field. Though he's still on the mend from September surgery on his right shoulder, Varsho recently increased his throwing distance to 120 feet, so he may not need much time to complete his throwing progression before making his 2025 debut. His IL placement is retroactive to Monday, so he'll be eligible to debut as soon as April 4.

MARCH 27 • ROTOWIRE

Myles Straw - Added to roster The Blue Jays selected Straw's contract from Triple-A Buffalo on Thursday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Impact After being acquired from the Guardians in January, Straw was able to secure a spot on the Opening Day roster as a reserve outfielder due to Daulton Varsho needing more time to recover from shoulder surgery. Straw is unlikely to see extensive action with Toronto, and he could be at risk of being booted off the 40-man roster once Varsho is activated from the 10-day injured list.

MARCH 27 • ROTOWIRE

Jacob Barnes - Added to roster The Blue Jays selected Barnes contract from Triple-A Buffalo on Thursday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Impact Despite attending camp as a non-roster invitee and posting a 6.75 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 6:3 K:BB over 5.1 innings in the Grapefruit League, Barnes was able to win a spot in the Blue Jays' Opening Day bullpen. He'll likely be ticketed for lower-leverage work.

MARCH 27 • ROTOWIRE

Alan Roden - Starting in right field for opener The Blue Jays selected Roden's contract from Triple-A Buffalo on Thursday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Impact Roden is drawing the start in right field and batting ninth in Thursday's opener against the Orioles. The Blue Jays are going with an outfield of Anthony Santander, George Springer and Roden on Opening Day.
