Biggio is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

EDGE Analysis

Biggio will head to the bench after he started at first base in the Royals' first two games while going 1-for-5 with a walk. Vinnie Pasquantino has been limited to designated hitter duties thus far while he works his way back from a minor hamstring strain, and once he's cleared to return to his usual post at first base, Biggio could see his opportunities dry up.

The Royals selected Biggio's contract from Triple-A Omaha on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

In addition to winning a spot on the Opening Day roster, Biggio will draw a start at first base and will bat eighth in Thursday's game against the Guardians while Vinnie Pasquantino is limited to the designated-hitter spot. Biggio will fill a reserve role once Pasquantino is fully healthy.

Biggio is poised to make the Royals' Opening Day roster, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Biggio still needs to be added to the 40-man roster, but he has won the final spot on the Royals' bench. The 29-year-old will offer depth at multiple positions and could get some run at first base early on in the season if Vinnie Pasquantino (hamstring) misses time.

Biggio agreed to a minor-league contract with the Royals on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old spent time with three organizations in 2024 and elected free agency in November after Atlanta removed him from the 40-man roster. Biggio had a .798 OPS in his first two big-league seasons, but he's faltered to a .216/.325/.349 slash line over the past four years. He should serve as utility depth for Kansas City and isn't likely to be a significant contributor even if he makes the Opening Day roster.

Biggio elected free agency Friday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Atlanta removed Biggio from its 40-man roster and the player exercised his right to free agency rather than accepting an outright assignment. Biggio slashed only .197/.314/.303 over 78 games between three different teams in 2024.

Atlanta optioned Biggio to Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old was added to Atlanta's big-league roster Sept. 11 shortly after being acquired from San Francisco, but he'll now head to Triple-A as Ozzie Albies (wrist) returns from the injured list. Biggio appeared in just four games during his brief time in the majors, and he has a .197/.314/.303 slash line in 78 games between his time with the Dodgers, the Blue Jays and Atlanta this season.

Atlanta selected Biggio's contract from Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Biggo was acquired via trade from the Giants over the weekend and now joins the major-league roster after just one game at Gwinnett. He could get some chances at second base if Whit Merrifield's foot injury continues to linger. Biggio has slashed just .197/.316/.306 at the big-league level in 2024.

Atlanta acquired Biggio in a minor-league trade with the Giants on Saturday in exchange for cash considerations, Gabe Burns of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

EDGE Analysis

The trade sends Biggio to his fourth team this season, as he previously spent time with the Blue Jays, Dodgers and Giants. Biggio signed a minor-league contract with San Francisco on Aug. 23, and he slashed .163/.413/.326 with two home runs and six RBI across 63 plate appearances with Triple-A Sacramento. Biggio could see some playing time at second base if Whit Merrifield goes on the injured list after being diagnosed with a foot fracture, but the former would not be eligible to play in the postseason if Atlanta were to make it there, per Lindsay Crosby of AthlonSports.com.

Biggio signed a minor-league contract with the Giants on Friday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

After spending nearly two months with the Dodgers, Biggio was released by Los Angeles on Aug. 9. He'll now remain in the NL West as he joins the Giants and will report to Triple-A Sacramento to begin his time with the club. The 29-year-old has slashed .197/.316/.306 with 19 RBI across 217 plate appearances in the majors this season, though he'll likely need to show improvement in the minors before earning a promotion to San Francisco.

The Dodgers released Biggio on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Biggio was removed from the club's 40-man roster earlier this week and is now officially a free agent after clearing waivers. He's slashed just .197/.316/.306 between the Blue Jays and Dodgers this season but should be able to latch on elsewhere with another team looking for utility depth.
