Swats first spring homer Biggio went 1-for-2 with a walk and a solo home run in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Yankees.
Impact He took Michael King deep in the third inning, turning around a high fastball and depositing it over the right-field wall for his first homer of the spring. Biggio is coming off a career-worst .356 SLG and .678 OPS in an injury-plagued 2021, so any flash of power is a positive sign, but his hold on the starting second base job for the Blue Jays is a tenuous one.

Signs deal before arbitration Biggio and the Blue Jays avoided arbitration Tuesday by agreeing to a a one-year, $2,122,500 deal, Kiley McDaniel of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Biggio will get a decent raise in arbitration despite the fact that he's coming off the worst season of his three-year career. He projects to open the season as Toronto's primary second baseman, but he'll have to hit better than the .224/.322/.356 line he produced last season if he's to keep the job.

Joins spring lineup Biggio (elbow) will start at second base and bat sixth in Tuesday's Grapefruit League game against the Yankees, Marly Rivera of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Biggio will be making his spring debut Tuesday after he was slightly delayed in the early stages of camp while recovering from a sprained left elbow. The 26-year-old currently projects as the Blue Jays' Opening Day second baseman, but he won't head into the season with much job security after slashing an abysmal .224/.322/.356 with a 26.6 percent strikeout rate across 293 plate appearances during an injury-plagued 2021 campaign.

Recovering from sprained elbow Biggio is making his way back from a sprained left elbow but will return to game action soon, Mitch Bannon of SI.com reports.
Impact Biggio suffered the injury over the offseason, but he'll still be able to get close to a full Grapefruit League schedule in if he makes it back soon, so his readiness for Opening Day doesn't appear to be seriously threatened. He lines up as Toronto's primary second baseman, but his grip on the job may not be too firm after he struggled to a .224/.322/.356 line in 79 games last season.

Not starting Tuesday Biggio will be on the bench Tuesday against the Yankees.
Impact Biggio missed almost all of August and September while battling elbow, back and neck issues, but he's ready to go for the final week of the season. It's unclear how often he'll be in the starting lineup, but the fact that it's Santiago Espinal who will get the nod at third base even with righty Jameson Taillon taking the hill for Yankees could be significant.

Back from injured list Biggio (elbow/back/neck) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list prior to Tuesday's matchup with the Yankees.
Impact Biggio was initially placed on the injured list with neck and back problems in early August and his recovery was later delayed by a UCL sprain suffered a few weeks later. He was able to resume his rehab assignment with Triple-A Buffalo on Sept. 11 and wound up going 10-for-44 with two homers and 10 RBI across 12 games. The 26-year-old hit a disappointing .215/.316/.350 while serving in a near-everyday role to begin the season, so he's far from a guarantee to reclaim his spot at third base from Santiago Espinal, who's hit .291/.354/.379 while serving as his primary replacement. Nonetheless, Biggio's defensive versatility and high offensive upside should help him see the field in some capacity during the season's final week and into the playoffs should Toronto qualify.
