Set to join Triple-A club Biggio (illness) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Buffalo on Thursday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Impact After clearing all COVID-19-related protocols Monday and resuming workouts, Biggio advanced to facing live pitching Wednesday, as he stepped up to the plate to take a few at-bats against rehabbing lefty Ryan Borucki (finger). According to Keegan Matheson of MLB.com Biggio is expected to remain with Buffalo at least for the duration of the Blue Jays' weekend road trip in Cleveland, so he's unlikely to be activated from the COVID-19 injured list until next week.

Blue Jays Place Cavan Biggio on COVID Injury List Blue Jays Infielder Cavan Biggio was placed on the COVID IL ahead of Monday’s game against the Red Sox
APRIL 25, 2022 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM
Moves to COVID-19 IL Biggio was placed on the COVID-19 injured list Monday.
Impact 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.

Experiencing COVID-19 symptoms 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.
Impact 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.

Back on bench Biggio is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Red Sox.
Impact 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.

Gets third straight start Biggio will start in right field and bat ninth Sunday against the Athletics.
Impact 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.

Losing work to Espinal Biggio is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees.
Impact 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.
