The Toronto Blue Jays are grappling with a significant setback as second baseman Andrés Giménez has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to a left ankle sprain. Giménez sustained the injury during a game against the Los Angeles Angels, which followed a previous incident while stealing a base against the New York Yankees. As a key player for the AL East-leading Blue Jays, Giménez's absence is felt, especially with his current stats showing a batting average of .218, five home runs, and 23 RBIs.

In response to this injury, the team made several roster changes ahead of their Sunday matchup against the Angels. Right-hander Ryan Burr has returned from the 60-day IL, and outfielder Joey Loperfido has been called up from Triple-A. Loperfido had a strong performance at Triple-A with a .278 average, nine homers, and 36 RBIs this season. Meanwhile, Lazaro Estrada has been optioned back to Triple-A after making his MLB debut on Saturday, and Will Robertson was designated for assignment after a brief stint in the majors.
