Andrés Giménez went 2-for-4 with two RBI and one run scored in a loss to the Guardians on Sunday.
Giménez is slashing just .190/.272/.298 on the season and has been moved to ninth in the batting order. The Blue Jays just acquired him this offseason and are paying him a lot of money, so he’s going to remain in the lineup, but it’s been hard to hold onto him in shallow fantasy leagues.
Andrés Giménez went 0-for-4 on Wednesday to finish the series agonist the Braves 0-for-11.
Maybe he’s not a cleanup hitter. Giménez has gone eight straight games without an RBI. He hit three homers in the Jays’ five games in March, but since April started, he’s come in at .157/.241/.176 in 14 games. On the plus side, he did steal his sixth base today.
Andrés Giménez had two walks, two steals and two runs scored Monday against the Red Sox.
He also had a drive down the right field line that would have been a homer in 16 major league parks. In Fenway, though, it was a 356-foot sac fly. Giménez has been great in hitting .231/.354/.513 early on. Still, with the way George Springer is performing, he might be overtaken in the cleanup spot before long.
Andrés Giménez has changed his batting stance this season, which could be impacting his hot start.
Giménez has been one of the surprise stars of the start of the season, going 6-for-18 with three home runs. Early Statcast data also shows that Giménez has moved farther back in the batter’s box this season and has opened his stance up more. Those changes could theoretically allow him to see the ball deeper and turn on it easier, which might mean this early power surge isn’t as fluky as it may initially have seemed.
