On-base streak at 15 games Biggio went 1-for-3 with two walks, an RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 2-1 extra-inning loss to the Rays.

Impact It's almost impossible to keep the 25-year-old off the basepaths right now. Biggio has reached base in 15 straight games, hitting .353 (18-for-51) while also drawing 15 walks and getting hit by a pitch twice, and the torrid stretch has pushed his slash line on the season to .272/.402/.522.

Three hits in Friday's win Biggio went 3-for-3 with a walk, a double, two runs scored and an RBI in Friday's extra-inning win over the Rays.

Impact Inexplicably dropped to eighth in the batting order by manager Charlie Montoyo, Biggio didn't let the change bother him as he extended his on-base streak to 14 games with another stellar performance. Over that stretch, the 25-year-old is slashing an incredible .354/.508/.708 with four homers, two steals, nine RBI and 16 runs, and it shouldn't be long before he's back at the top of the lineup where he belongs.

Getting first day off Biggio is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles.

Impact The Blue Jays are wrapping up their series in Baltimore with a day game after a night game and a lefty (Tommy Milone) is on the mound for the Orioles, so Toronto skipper Charlie Montoyo decided it was a good time to give the lefty-hitting Biggio his first day off of the season. Brandon Drury will cover the keystone in place of Biggio, who is slashing .228/.344/.481 with six home runs and three steals through 93 plate appearances.

Socks sixth homer Biggio went 3-for-5 with a homer, two runs scored and three RBI in Monday's 7-2 win over the Orioles.

Impact The top of the Toronto order carried the offense, as Biggio and No. 2 hitter Randal Grichuk combined for all seven RBI. Biggio is only hitting .234 on the season, but he's bolstered his fantasy value with six homers, three steals, 12 RBI and 14 runs through 19 games.

Swats fifth homer Biggio went 1-for-2 with a walk, a solo home run and two additional runs scored in Friday's win over the Rays.

Impact The 25-year-old is up to five homers on the year, with three of them coming in the last week. Biggio's .206/.324/.460 slash line through 16 games is less impressive, but his power and patience profile (with a little bit of speed -- he has three steals in three attempts) still gives him solid fantasy value in most formats.
