Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Cavan Biggio went 1-for-4 with a run scored, his first stolen base of the year and two strikeouts in the team's 3-1 loss to the Detroit Tigers on Thursday. Biggio isn't an everyday player for the Blue Jays, and he won't have much offensive upside hitting at the bottom of the batting order. He's gone just 4-for-25 (.160) with a home run, RBI, stolen base and four runs scored in his first 10 games of the 2023 season. The 28-year-old can also play the outfield, but...

Toronto Blue Jays utility man Cavan Biggio is expected to split his playing time in the infield and outfield this coming season. The 27-year-old spent the bulk of 2022 at second and first base, and the Blue Jays were pleased by his performance in the outfield. While he made just nine appearances in the outfield, Biggio has had success in the outfield before and he could be even more of a defensive threat in the outfield. At the plate, his bat isn't too resourceful and at the rate his career is ...

The Toronto Blue Jays and infielder Cavan Biggio avoided salary arbitration on Friday by coming to an agreement on a one-year, $2.8 million deal. The 27-year-old son of former second baseman Craig Biggio hit just .202/.318/.350 with a career-low .668 OPS, six home runs, 24 RBI, 43 runs scored and two stolen bases in 303 plate appearances and 97 games for the blue Jays in 2022. Biggio has regressed since his rookie season with Toronto in 2019 and has slashed a weak .213/.320/.353 with 13 home ...

The Toronto Blue Jays recalled infielder Cavan Biggio from Triple-A on Thursday and optioned infielder Vinny Capra to Triple-A in a corresponding move. Biggio is starting at first base and is batting ninth in his return to Toronto's starting lineup on Thursday night against Los Angeles Angels right-hander Shohei Ohtani. Biggio missed a few weeks while on the COVID injured list in late April and early May, and the Blue Jays sent him to the minors when he cleared the league's protocols. The ...

The Toronto Blue Jays reinstated infielder Cavan Biggio from the COVID-19 injured list on Monday. He has been optioned to Triple-A. The 27-year-old spent the first few weeks of the season in the majors before landing on the COVID-19 injured list. He struggled significantly during his time with the team, slashing .043/.214/.043 across 13 games. Biggio has failed to find consistency at the plate over the last three seasons and if he continues to struggle at Triple-A, there's a chance we won't see...

Toronto Blue Jays infielder Cavan Biggio cleared the league's COVID-19 protocols and was able to start baseball activities on Monday. Biggio has been sidelined with the virus since April 25 and could possibly embark on a rehab assignment before playing for the big league club. The 27-year-old is off to a slow start in 2022, hitting just .043 with two runs across 23 at-bats. Santiago Espinal has performed well filling in at second base and might not cede the starting job back to Biggio, even when...

The Toronto Blue Jays placed third baseman Cavan Biggio on the COVID-related injured list on Monday. The team called up right-handed pitcher Bowden Francis in a corresponding move. There's no word yet as to what caused Biggio to be placed on the injured list. Perhaps the Blue Jays interpreted his 1-for-23 start to the year as a COVID-19 symptom. Francis, meanwhile, is rated as the team's No. 15 overall prospect by MLB Pipeline. The 26-year-old has yet to appear in the majors. Last year, he ...

Biggio is expected to make his spring debut later this week, possibly as soon as Tuesday. As long as he doesn't have any setbacks when he gets into games, he should be ready for the start of the regular season. The 26-year-old should be Toronto's regular second baseman this year after struggling ...

Toronto Blue Jays infielder Cavan Biggio (elbow) had a big game at Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday. He went 3-for-5 with a grand slam, a walk, five RBI and four runs scored. The 26-year-old has been plagued with a number of injuries this year. He's only managed to appear in 77 games for the Blue Jays. He was diagnosed with a Grade 1 UCL sprain in his left elbow in August while he was in the midst of rehabbing neck and back injuries. He's been struggling overall during his current rehab stint, ...

Toronto Blue Jays infielder Cavan Biggio (elbow, neck/back) is being shut down from hitting for a week after being diagnosed with a Grade 1 UCL sprain in his left elbow. Biggio sustained the injury while diving for a ball during a game at Triple-A Buffalo, where he has been on a rehab assignment for neck and back injuries that sidelined him in early August. The 26-year-old was struggling at the plate prior to hitting the IL, slashing just .136/.220/.205 with six hits over his last 44 at-bats. ...
