Biggio went 0-for-3 with a walk and his second stolen base of the season in Sunday's win over the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
While he didn't do anything with his bat, the 28-year-old utility player salvaged some fantasy value on the back half of a double steal with Whit Merrifield in the sixth inning. Biggio has seen an uptick in playing time the last couple weeks while Santiago Espinal (hamstring) has been on the shelf, and he's responded by batting .292 (7-for-24) over his last 10 games with two homers, one steal, four RBI and five runs.

Biggio went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's loss to Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
Biggio stepped in for Kevan Kiermaier, who exited Saturday's contest with lower back discomfort after just two innings and came up big with a solo homer in the fourth off Pablo Lopez. Through 30 games, Biggio is slashing .167/.231/.347 with four home runs, 12 runs scored and six RBI. Considering his struggles at the plate and his inability to lock down a consistent spot in the Blue Jays lineup, Biggio remains an unsavory fantasy option in most formats.

Biggio went 1-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base in Thursday's loss to the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Getting the start at second base and batting ninth, Biggio led off the third inning with a single to center field and promptly swiped second for his first steal of the season. The 28-year-old utility player has appeared in 10 games so far, six at the keystone, two at DH and one each at third base and right field, but he's hitting just .160 (4-for-25) with a shaky 3:11 BB:K in 29 plate appearances. Biggio will need to pick up the pace at the plate if he's going to continue earning consistent playing time against right-handed pitching.

Biggio went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Thursday against the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Biggio was in the lineup for the third time in Toronto's last four games and appears to have a regular role against right-handed pitching. He launched his first homer of the season Thursday, taking Jordan Lyles deep in the fourth inning. Biggio has gotten off to a solid start, as he's maintained a .231 average but has walked three times while striking out on only four occasions in 17 plate appearances.

Biggio is starting at second base and batting ninth for the Blue Jays on Wednesday in Kansas City.

Biggio went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Thursday's split-squad game against Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Getting the start at second base and hitting second, Biggio turned on an inside pitch from Spencer Strider in the third inning and drove it over the wall in right field. Biggio has gone 8-for-22 with a homer and a steal through eight Grapefruit League appearances, and the 27-year-old could see consistent playing time in a utility role this season for the Blue Jays. With a .213/.320/.353 slash line over the last two seasons, however, his primary fantasy value could lie in his position flex rather than his performance at the plate.
