Biggio cleared COVID-19 protocols Monday and began baseball activities, Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Biggio has been on the COVID-19 injured list for the past week and was reportedly experiencing symptoms. It looks like he'll be able to return within the next few days, though he'll need a day or two to get sharp again before being activated.

Biggio was placed on the COVID-19 injured list Monday.

EDGE Analysis

General manager Ross Atkins announced earlier Monday that Biggio was experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, so it's not a surprise to see him headed to the injured list. The 27-year-old, who has filled a utility role early this season after losing his starting job, will need to clear MLB's testing protocols before rejoining the team.

General manager Ross Atkins said Monday that Biggio is experiencing COVID-19 symptoms and will likely be placed on the injured list, Scott Mitchell of TSN.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Biggio is still undergoing testing for COVID-19, but he'll likely isolate from the team as a precautionary measure while he awaits his results. If he's ultimately placed on the COVID-19 IL, the 27-year-old will be eligible to rejoin the club as soon as he clears the league's health and safety protocols.

Biggio is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Biggio had started in four of the Jays' last five games but wasn't able to break out of his season-long funk at the plate. He's now reached base only four times in his 28 plate appearances in 2022, with his lowly .214 on-base average on the campaign making his .322 OBA from 2021 desirable by comparison. Biggio's struggles at the dish dating back to the start of the last season have seemingly resulted in him moving into more of a utility role, as Santiago Espinal has taken the reins as Toronto's everyday second baseman.

Biggio will start in right field and bat ninth Sunday against the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Biggio will pick up his third straight start at a different position, as he previously drew assignments at first base Friday and at second base Saturday. Santiago Espinal appears to have surpassed Biggio as the preferred option at the keystone for the time being, but Teoscar Hernandez's (oblique) recent move to the injured list could create a path for Biggio to pick up more work in the outfield. The 27-year-old is still in search of his first hit of the season, though he's at least reached base four times thanks to a pair of walks and hit-by-pitches.

Biggio is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

The lefty-hitting Biggio will take a seat with southpaw Nestor Cortes on the hill for the Yankees, but the former has been losing work to right-handed pitching of late, too. After starting in both of Toronto's first two games, Biggio sat out Sunday against the Rangers and right-hander Spencer Howard and Monday against the Yankees and righty Jameson Taillon. Santiago Espinal will pick up his third consecutive start Tuesday and appears to have supplanted Biggio as the Blue Jays' preferred option at the keystone for the time being.

Biggio isn't starting Monday's game against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

After starting in each of the Blue Jays' first two games of the regular season, Biggio will be out of the lineup for a second straight matchup. Santiago Espinal will take over at the keystone and bat ninth.

Biggio is not in Sunday's lineup against Texas.

EDGE Analysis

Biggio started each of Toronto's first two games, batting ninth on each occasion. He'll sit for the first time Sunday, with Santiago Espinal drawing the starting at second base while hitting eighth.

Biggio went 1-for-2 with a walk and a solo home run in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

He took Michael King deep in the third inning, turning around a high fastball and depositing it over the right-field wall for his first homer of the spring. Biggio is coming off a career-worst .356 SLG and .678 OPS in an injury-plagued 2021, so any flash of power is a positive sign, but his hold on the starting second base job for the Blue Jays is a tenuous one.

Biggio and the Blue Jays avoided arbitration Tuesday by agreeing to a a one-year, $2,122,500 deal, Kiley McDaniel of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Biggio will get a decent raise in arbitration despite the fact that he's coming off the worst season of his three-year career. He projects to open the season as Toronto's primary second baseman, but he'll have to hit better than the .224/.322/.356 line he produced last season if he's to keep the job.
