JOE PANIK NEWS

Playing time on downswing Panik is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

Impact Panik had started at third base in eight of the Blue Jays' previous 10 games, but his run of regular playing time will likely come to an end in the near future following Cavan Biggio's recent return from the injured list. Expect the 30-year-old to fill more of a utility role for Toronto moving forward.

Swats second homer Panik went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Astros.

Impact Getting the start at third base, the veteran utility player took Jose Urquidy deep in the fourth inning to cap a four-run frame that put the Jays in the lead for good. Panik only has two homers on the season, but they've both come within his last six games as he helps fill in at the hot corner for Cavan Biggio (neck), a stretch during which Panik has gone 9-for-22 (.409).

Panik's 4-hit, 3-RBI night | 05/28/2021 Joe Panik crushes a homer, collecting four hits and three RBIs in the Blue Jays' 11-2 win over the Indians

MAY 29, 2021 • MLB.COM

Blasts first homer Panik went 4-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 11-2 win over Cleveland.

Impact Toronto's offense mainly came from the bottom half of the order, with Panik delivering the game's lone homer in the third inning. The 30-year-old recently missed two weeks with a strained left calf. Panik is slashing .262/.286/.377 with a homer, seven RBI and four runs scored across 63 plate appearances after a big game Friday. He's still more likely to feature in a bench role, as Marcus Semien's hot play hasn't allowed many chances for Panik to fill in at the keystone.

Blue Jays' Biggio on IL with cervical spine ligament sprain

MAY 22, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Back from injured list Panik (calf) was activated from the 10-day injured list Saturday, Mike Wilner of the Toronto Star reports.

Impact The 30-year-old has been sidelined since May 5 with a strained left calf, but he'll rejoin the active roster Saturday. Cavan Biggio (neck) landed on the injured list as part of Toronto's roster moves, so Panik should see increased reps at third base for the near future.
