Blue Jays place 2B Andres Gimenez (ankle) on 10-day IL
(Photo credit: Nick Turchiaro-Imagn Images) The Toronto Blue Jays placed second baseman Andres Gimenez on the 10-day injured list on Sunday because of a left ankle sprain. The move, retroactive to Saturday, was one of several transactions for the team. Toronto recalled outfielder Joey Loperfido from Triple-A Buffalo, optioned right-hander Lazaro Estrada to Buffalo, activated right-hander Ryan Burr from the 60-day injured list and designated rookie outfielder Will Robertson for assignment. Gimenez, 26, last played on Friday and tweaked his ankle again while running the bases during a 4-3 win in 10 innings over the visiting Los Angeles Angels. He also experienced discomfort during a three-hit performace against the New York Yankees on Wednesday, with the Blue Jays sitting him in that series finale before he attempted a return Friday that was cut short. Toronto has won seven straight despite his unavailability. An All-Star while with the Cleveland Guardians in 2022, Gimenez is batting .218 with five home runs and 23 RBIs in 61 games in his first season with Toronto. He also was on the IL and out 24 games with a quad strain from May 7 to June 3. Gimenez is a career .257 hitter with 54 homers and 245 RBIs in 629 regular-season games for the New York Mets (2020), Cleveland (2021-24) and Toronto. Burr, 31, has not pitched this season after going on the 60-day injured list in March because of right shoulder inflammation. He threw one scoreless inning on Wednesday in Triple A. For his career, Burr is 4-5 with a 4.10 ERA, 51 walks and 113 strikeouts in 107 2/3 innings over 100 games (six starts) for the Chicago White Sox (2018-19, 2021-22) and Blue Jays (2024). Loperfido, 26, has not played in the major leagues this season. He played in a total of 81 games for the Houston Astros and the Blue Jays in 2024 and batted .214 with four homers and 25 RBIs. He batted .278 with six homers and 39 RBIs in 76 games for Buffalo this season. Estrada, 26, allowed two hits and one run in four innings for a 2.25 ERA, along with four strikeouts in his major league debut on Saturday against the Angels. He was 2-4 with a 4.27 ERA, 21 walks and 66 strikeouts in 60 2/3 innings over 15 starts at Buffalo this season. Robertson, 27, made his major league debut on June 15 and batted .100 (1-for-10) with one RBI in three games. --Field Level Media

George Springer's big bat helps Blue Jays upend Yankees
Field Level Media 05 Jul 2025, 09:38 GMT+10 (Photo credit: Nick Turchiaro-Imagn Images) George Springer hit a grand slam and a solo homer and collected a career-high seven RBIs Tuesday afternoon as the Toronto Blue Jays defeated the visiting New York Yankees 12-5 on Canada Day. Andres Gimenez added a three-run homer for the Blue Jays, who have won the opening two of a four-game series. Toronto moved within one game of the first-place Yankees in the American League East. Jasson Dominguez had three RBIs for New York. The Yankees scored two in the first against Kevin Gausman. Paul Goldschmidt singled and Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton walked to load the bases to set up Dominguez's two-run single up the middle. Max Fried didn't allow a hit over the first three innings before Springer led off the fourth with a homer to left center on a 2-2 curveball. The inning continued when Davis Schneider was given an infield hit on a chopper to third and Jazz Chisholm Jr.'s throw was wide of first. Myles Straw walked and Gimenez homered to center on a fastball down the middle to give the Jays a 4-2 lead. Nick Sandlin took over in the sixth from Gausman, who allowed two runs, six hits and four walks with three strikeouts in five innings. Fried retired his final seven batters and allowed four runs, three hits and two walks while striking out two in six innings. The Yankees scored twice in the seventh to forge a 4-4 tie. Cody Bellinger led off with a single and Judge was intentionally walked by Justin Bruihl. Chisholm's grounder forced Judge at second. Braydon Fisher (2-0) took over and consecutive fielding errors by third baseman Ernie Clement and first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. each resulted in a run. Mark Leiter Jr. (4-6) entered in the Toronto seventh and allowed Gimenez's one-out single and a Tyler Heineman walk. Luke Weaver replaced Leiter and pinch hitter Addison Barger reached first on catcher's interference to load the bases. Clement lined an RBI single off shortstop Anthony Volpe's glove. Springer followed with his ninth career grand slam on a blast to left center. Geoff Hartlieb walked in a run and allowed Springer's two-run single in the home eighth. Toronto's Yariel Rodriguez allowed a run in the ninth. Prior to the game, Toronto recalled Leo Jimenez and optioned Jonatan Clase to Triple-A Buffalo. Jimenez started at shortstop on Tuesday and was 0-for-2. --Field Level Media

Gimenez launces bid for Homeland Security panel chair
Rep. Carlos Gimenez (R-Fla.) announced Tuesday he would seek the top spot on the House Homeland Security Committee as current Chair Mark Green (R-Tenn.) prepares to leave Congress. Gimenez, a former fire chief, Miami mayor, and third-term congressman, argued that blend of experience made for a fitting background to lead a panel focused on the sweeping mission undertaken by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). 'I believe my unique career, rooted in public safety, executive leadership, and crisis management, makes me the right person to lead this Committee at a time when our nation faces unprecedented threats both at home and abroad,' Gimenez wrote in a letter to colleagues. 'As Representative for Florida's 28th District, the southernmost district in the continental United States, I have witnessed firsthand the devastating human, economic, and security consequences of the Biden-Harris open-border agenda. Every day, the vast maritime border of my district is tested. Thankfully, under President Donald J. Trump's renewed leadership, we are seeing long-overdue changes.' Politico first reported the letter. If selected, Gimenez would take over a committee left by Green, who said he would resign after the passage of President Trump's 'big beautiful bill' in order to pursue an opportunity in the private sector. Gimenez represents a unique district, one previously controlled by Democrats that is also home to a wide variety of migrants, including many from Latin America. Gimenez has been largely complimentary of Trump's border policies but has broken with the president on some issues. Gimenez, alongside fellow Florida Republicans Mario Diaz-Balart and Maria Elvira Salazar, called on the Trump administration to rethink plans to end Temporary Protected Status as well as parole for those from countries like Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela and Haiti – all groups with established communities in the Miami area. 'Nuance would be that instead of having wholesale deportations, it needs to be looked at on a case-by-case basis, and really go back to the way it should have been to be allowed in the country in the first place,' Gimenez told The Hill in May. Gimenez is not the only one to express interest in the position. Rep. Andrew Garabino (R-N.Y.), told Inside Cybersecurity he also plans to seek the gavel. And Rep. Michael Guest (R-Miss.), who currently chairs the House Ethics Committee, told Magnolia Tribune that he has 'enjoyed building an expertise on the issues under the Committee's jurisdiction' while serving on the committee since coming to Congress. 'With Chairman Green's announcement that he will resign from Congress soon, I intend to consult with my family, friends, and staff to determine how I can best serve Mississippi moving forward,' Guest told the outlet.
