AL East-Leading Blue Jays Place Infielder Andrés Giménez on Injured List with Left Ankle Sprain

On Sunday, the Toronto Blue Jays placed infielder Andrés Giménez on the 10-day injured list due to a sprain in his left ankle that he suffered Wednesday during the series against the New York Yankees.
Giménez injured his left ankle while attempting to defend second base during a steal and initially continued to play before exiting Friday's 4-3 victory over the Angels.
To replace Giménez, the Jays recalled outfielder Joey Loperfido from Triple-A Buffalo and activated right-hander Ryan Burr from the 60-day injured list before Sunday's game in Toronto.
Giménez is hitting.218 with five homers, 23 RBIs, and 10 stolen bases this season while Burr posted a 4.13 ERA with a 33.6% strikeout rate last year but has yet to pitch in 2025.
Giménez's return date remains uncertain, with the team expecting him to miss at least several weeks, prompting reliance on roster depth and Burr's potential late-inning role.
