Second baseman Andres Gimenez was placed on the Toronto Blue Jays' 10-day injured list on Sunday with a left ankle sprain.
Gimenez left Toronto's 4-3 win over the Los Angeles Angels on Friday. He had tweaked his left ankle covering second base on a steal on Wednesday against the New York Yankees and did not play Thursday as Toronto completed a sweep of the four-game series.
The move was made retroactive to Saturday.
Right-handed pitcher Ryan Burr was reinstated from Toronto's 60-day injured list as his right shoulder inflammation had healed and was active for the Blue Jays matinee against the Los Angeles Angels.
Gimenez, a defensive specialist, is hitting .218 with five home runs, 23 runs batted in and 10 stolen bases so far this season.
It's his second stint on the IL after missing time with a right quad strain.
Burr hasn't played in 2025, but he had an 0-2 record with a 4.13 earned-run average with 47 strikeouts over 32 2/3 innings last season.
Right-handed reliever Lazaro Estrada was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo and outfielder Will Robertson was designated for assignment.
