Panik was added to the 26-man roster Wednesday and drew the start at third base against the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Panik was acquired from Toronto on Tuesday in a trade that sent Adam Cimber and Corey Dickerson the other way. He is in the starting lineup at third base Thursday and figures to see substantial time there until Brian Anderson (shoulder) is activated from the injured list.

The Marlins acquired Panik and an unspecified minor-league pitcher from the Blue Jays on Tuesday in exchange for outfielder Corey Dickerson (foot) and pitcher Adam Cimber, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Since Panik is a 30-year-old on an expiring deal, the 33-44 Marlins likely won't make finding at-bats for him a major priority, but he'll at least provide the team with some additional flexibility off the bench. He has the ability to play all four infield spots, and he could be an option at third base in the short term while the Marlins await Brian Anderson's (shoulder) return from the injured list. Jon Berti is currently serving as the Marlins' primary starter at the hot corner, but he's cobbled together an underwhelming .230/.327/.353 slash line across 218 plate appearances this season.

Panik is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Panik had started at third base in eight of the Blue Jays' previous 10 games, but his run of regular playing time will likely come to an end in the near future following Cavan Biggio's recent return from the injured list. Expect the 30-year-old to fill more of a utility role for Toronto moving forward.

Panik went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Getting the start at third base, the veteran utility player took Jose Urquidy deep in the fourth inning to cap a four-run frame that put the Jays in the lead for good. Panik only has two homers on the season, but they've both come within his last six games as he helps fill in at the hot corner for Cavan Biggio (neck), a stretch during which Panik has gone 9-for-22 (.409).

Panik went 4-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 11-2 win over Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

Toronto's offense mainly came from the bottom half of the order, with Panik delivering the game's lone homer in the third inning. The 30-year-old recently missed two weeks with a strained left calf. Panik is slashing .262/.286/.377 with a homer, seven RBI and four runs scored across 63 plate appearances after a big game Friday. He's still more likely to feature in a bench role, as Marcus Semien's hot play hasn't allowed many chances for Panik to fill in at the keystone.

Panik (calf) was activated from the 10-day injured list Saturday, Mike Wilner of the Toronto Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 30-year-old has been sidelined since May 5 with a strained left calf, but he'll rejoin the active roster Saturday. Cavan Biggio (neck) landed on the injured list as part of Toronto's roster moves, so Panik should see increased reps at third base for the near future.

Blue Jays manager Charlie Montoyo said Panik (calf) fielded grounders and took batting practice Wednesday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Panik was forced to the injured list last weekend with a strained left calf, but his ability to resume baseball activities less than a week later offers hope that he'll avoid a lengthy stay on the IL. The 30-year-old had been serving as a utility infielder for Toronto prior to sustaining the injury, batting .226 with no home runs across 54 plate appearances.

Panik was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday with a strained left calf.

EDGE Analysis

The 30-year-old suffered the injury during Wednesday's win over the A's, and he'll head to the injured list after undergoing an MRI. The results of the imaging haven't been announced, so it's unclear if Panik is expected to return after spending the 10-day minimum on the shelf.

Blue Jays manager Charlie Montoyo said Panik would be sent in for an MRI after the infielder experienced tightness in his left calf muscle during Wednesday's 9-4 win over the Athletics, Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Panik, who started at first base and went 0-for-3 on the night, was lifted in the top of the eighth inning after tweaking his calf while running out a groundball in his plate appearance an inning earlier. The Blue Jays should have a clearer idea about the extent of Panik's calf issue once he gets further imaging, but he could be at risk of landing on the 10-day injured list.

Panik is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Panik had started four of the past five games at second base or third base, but his window for everyday playing time appears to have closed following Teoscar Hernandez's return from the COVID-19 injured list. The 30-year-old infielder should continue to fill a utility role for Toronto moving forward.
