ANDRÉS GIMÉNEZ NEWS

On bench Sunday Gimenez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

Impact Gimenez will cede shortstop duties to another former Mets organization mate in Amed Rosario, who is making his first career start for Cleveland. Due to his superior glovework, Gimenez is expected to serve as Cleveland's primary shortstop this season, though he could see more frequent rest days if his early struggles at the plate continue for a prolonged period. Gimenez has recorded one hit in eight at-bats through Cleveland's first two games.

Looks like everyday player Gimenez appears to have secured the everyday shortstop job for Cleveland as Opening Day approaches, Tom Withers of the Associated Press reports.

Impact Gimenez and Amed Rosario opened camp in contention for shortstop duties, but Cleveland has since experimented with Rosario in the outfield more frequently, signaling that he's now being viewed as more of a utility player. The decision doesn't come as a surprise given the superior defense Gimenez demonstrated during both players' time together in the Mets organization, but the 22-year-old has continued to display some promise at the plate this spring, too. Though he has yet to attempt a steal in 13 games, Gimenez is slashing .286/.342/.571 with two home runs and two triples.

Impact Gimenez and Rosario looked set to battle for playing time with the Mets, and that battle continues in Cleveland after both came over in the Francisco Lindor trade. The way Rosario is being used suggests the team views Gimenez as the better option at shortstop, but he's not exactly a proven MLB talent, so winning the job on Opening Day doesn't guarantee he'll keep it all year. Gimenez looked decent enough in his 49-game debut last season after skipping Triple-A, hitting .263/.333/.398 with three homers and eight steals.

Strong start to camp Gimenez is 4-for-7 with one home run, one triple and three RBI through three games in spring training.

Impact The 22-year-old was acquired from the Mets in the Francisco Lindor trade during January and is making a strong first impression with his new team. Gimenez is competing for the starting job at shortstop after making his big-league debut in 2020 and delivering a .731 OPS with three homers and eight stolen bases in 132 plate appearances. Amed Rosario, who came to Cleveland in the same trade, is the primary competition at shortstop after posting a career-worst .643 OPS last season. Gimenez's defensive skillset likely gives him a leg up for the starting role, so he should be able to secure the job if he continues to hit well in spring training.

Included in Lindor deal Gimenez was sent from the Mets to the Indians on Thursday along with Amed Rosario, Isaiah Greene and Josh Wolf in exchange for Francisco Lindor and Carlos Carrasco, Anthony DiComo...

Impact The move means Gimenez won't have to compete with the incoming Lindor for playing time at shortstop, a battle he would surely lose. Amed Rosario was also shipped to Cleveland in the deal, however, so the pair will continue the battle they began in New York in 2020. Gimenez outperformed Rosario last season, hitting a respectable .263/.333/.398 while stealing eight bases to Rosario's zero. They started together on several occasions last season, with Gimenez appearing at other infield spots, an arrangement which could continue with their new team.

Moves to injured list Gimenez was placed on the 10-day injured list with right oblique tightness after Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Nationals, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Impact The 22-year-old was lifted from Saturday's matinee with the oblique issue, and he'll end up missing the final two games of the season. Gimenez will finish his rookie campaign with a .263/.333/.398 slash line, three homers, 12 RBI and eight stolen bases in 132 plate appearances. Amed Rosario will take over at shortstop for the Mets in the nightcap.

It wasn't clear what kind of injury he suffered, and whether he'll be available for the Mets' final two games of the regular season remains to be seen.
