Biggio went 2-for-3 with a run scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's win over the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
The steal was his first of the season. Biggio has hit safely in five straight games and has been a near-everyday fixture in the Blue Jays' lineup, primarily at second base, but the team also hasn't faced many left-handed starters yet. Through 11 contests, the 28-year-old is batting .290 (9-for-31) with one homer, three runs and four RBI.

Biggio is starting at second base and batting sixth Friday against the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old was originally absent from Friday's lineup, but he's now starting after Kevin Kiermaier was scratched with a back injury. Biggio is off to a slow start this season, going 3-for-17 with a homer, four walks, three RBI and two runs in six games.

Biggio is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Yankees, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Biggio is mired in a 3-for-17 slump to begin the season and will head to the bench for Friday's series opener in New York. Davis Schneider will take over at second base against Yankees righty Marcus Stroman.

Biggio isn't in the Blue Jays' lineup Tuesday against the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
The lefty-hitting Biggio will step out of the lineup Tuesday with southpaw Framber Valdez starting on the mound for Houston. Isiah Kiner-Falefa will slide over to second base while Biggio rests, allowing Ernie Clement to start at third and bat seventh.

Biggio went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and an additional run scored during Thursday's win over Tampa Bay.
EDGE Analysis
Biggio was excellent from the nine-slot Thursday, picking up his first long ball of the campaign in just his second at-bat. The 29-year-old has hit better than .235 just once in his five-year career and has seen fewer than 340 plate appearances in four straight campaigns, but he could have the opportunity to exceed both of those marks in 2024 if Thursday is any indication.

Biggio will start at second base and bat ninth in Thursday's season opener at Tampa Bay.
EDGE Analysis
Biggio is likely to see the bulk of the at-bats at the keystone against right-handers, much to the chagrin of Davis Schneider's fantasy managers. He will also be an option at third base some days.

Biggio went 2-for-3 with a walk, two doubles and two runs scored in Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Getting the start at second base and batting leadoff in a Toronto lineup missing all its top stars, Biggio rapped out a pair of two-baggers off Zach Eflin. The 28-year-old utility player was brought along slowly in camp but has hit the ground running since seeing his first Grapefruit League action Thursday, going 4-for-8 with three doubles. Biggio could see a significant workload for the Jays this season as he splits his time between second base, third base and right field.

Biggio (shoulder) will start at second base and bat second Thursday versus the Tigers in his Grapefruit League debut.
EDGE Analysis
Biggio has been brought along methodically this spring after coming into camp with tendinitis in his left (non-throwing) shoulder, but he's been ramping up of late and is now ready to test himself in a game setting. The 28-year-old is likely to fill a super-utility role for the Blue Jays this season, seeing time at second base, third base and right field.

Biggio (shoulder) hit in a simulated game Sunday and has been going through full defensive drills, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Biggio has been slow-played this spring after reporting to camp with some tendinitis in his left (non-throwing) shoulder. He's progressed well, though, and while it's unclear when he might play in a Grapefruit League contest, it doesn't appear to be far off.

Biggio (shoulder) has been hitting off a pitching machine regularly, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's not clear when Biggio might be cleared for Grapefruit League action, but the Blue Jays don't seem overly worried about his status at the moment. He's working his way back from tendinitis in his left shoulder.
