CAVAN BIGGIO NEWS

Slugs first homer Biggio went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Thursday against the Royals.

Impact Biggio was in the lineup for the third time in Toronto's last four games and appears to have a regular role against right-handed pitching. He launched his first homer of the season Thursday, taking Jordan Lyles deep in the fourth inning. Biggio has gotten off to a solid start, as he's maintained a .231 average but has walked three times while striking out on only four occasions in 17 plate appearances.

Starting at second base Biggio is starting at second base and batting ninth for the Blue Jays on Wednesday in Kansas City.

Impact Biggio was on the bench on Opening Day against a right-hander but has since started three straight versus righties. He's reached base five times in his first nine plate appearances this season.

Launches first spring homer Biggio went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Thursday's split-squad game against Atlanta.

Impact Getting the start at second base and hitting second, Biggio turned on an inside pitch from Spencer Strider in the third inning and drove it over the wall in right field. Biggio has gone 8-for-22 with a homer and a steal through eight Grapefruit League appearances, and the 27-year-old could see consistent playing time in a utility role this season for the Blue Jays. With a .213/.320/.353 slash line over the last two seasons, however, his primary fantasy value could lie in his position flex rather than his performance at the plate.

Should see more work in outfield Biggio will split his playing time roughly equally between the infield and outfield this season, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Impact Per manager John Schneider on Wednesday, Biggio will play "a ton" in the outfield in 2023, and the 27-year-old justified that confidence during Tuesday's Grapefruit League game against the Tigers when he made a dazzling sliding catch in right field, then doubled off a runner at first base. The Blue Jays have a lot of moving parts in the outfield, and while Biggio has mostly played right in the majors, he does have some experience in left and center as well. After managing only a .202/.318/.350 slash line over 97 games last season, however, he'll need to turn things around at the plate for any extra playing time to translate into real fantasy value.

Avoids arbitration with Toronto Biggio signed a one-year, $2.8 million contract with the Blue Jays on Friday to avoid arbitration, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Biggio has been a disappointment at the plate two years running with back-to-back sub-.700 OPS seasons. His versatility is appealing, though, and he looks to be in line for a super-utility role again in 2023.

Resting Saturday Biggio isn't starting Saturday against Tampa Bay.

Impact Although the Blue Jays are facing a right-hander (Drew Rasmussen) during Saturday's matchup, Biggio will retreat to the bench once again. Whit Merrifield is starting at second base and appears to be the preferred option at the keystone while Santiago Espinal (oblique) is sidelined.

Not starting Friday Biggio isn't in the lineup Friday against the Rays.

Impact Biggio should see an uptick in playing time while Santiago Espinal (oblique) is on the injured list. However, Biggio has started against just six left-handed pitchers this year and will head to the bench with Jeffrey Springs on the mound for Tampa Bay on Friday. Whit Merrifield is starting at the keystone and batting eighth.
