Toronto welcomes Chicago in a pivotal three-game set as Giménez returns from ankle and quad woes, a 26-year-old defender with an almost $100M remaining on the deal. His activation could reshuffle the Jays’ middle-infield duties, nudging Ernie Clement into a platoon role against right-handers while Giménez handles righty pitching. Addison Barger and Nathan Lukes have seized regular reps in the meantime, and George Springer’s return compounds the scramble, with Loperfido cycling through infield and outfield spots as needed. The Cubs counter with a high-powered offense, making this a meaningful test for a Toronto club looking to rebound after nine losses in 14. Santander’s injury also opened additional at-bats, stretching Toronto’s depth and leaving a few regulars in flux for matchups. Toronto will try to kickstart a series win against an opponent outside Colorado for the first time in four tries.
