May 25 2025Biggio was optioned to Triple-A Omaha following Sunday's 2-1 win over the Twins, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio appeared as a pinch-hitter in the contest, striking out in place of Mark Canha in the top of the ninth inning. The 30-year-old has struggled to a .174 average with one home run, four RBI, nine runs scored and a stolen base over 69 at-bats in 37 games with Kansas City this season. Biggio will now have the chance to either accept his option to Triple-A or elect free agency in the coming days.
May 24 2025Biggio isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Twins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio will take a seat on the bench to begin Saturday's contest after going 1-for-4 with an RBI in Friday's series opener. Salvador Perez will serve as the Royals' DH instead, while Freddy Fermin starts behind the plate.
May 21 2025Biggio is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in San Francisco. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio had started each of the Royals' last four games against right-handed pitching (two in left field, two at designated hitter), but he will begin Wednesday's festivities on the bench as the Giants send righty Logan Webb to the hill. Vinnie Pasquantino is at DH and Mark Canha is in left field for Wednesday's matinee.
May 3 2025Biggio went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a 4-0 win against Baltimore on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Offense was at a premium in the rain-delayed contest, and Biggio provided a key run with his 389-foot solo shot in the fifth inning. It was the first long ball of the season for the veteran infielder, who has struggled to a .191/.321/.255 slash line through 57 plate appearances this season. The poor numbers have impacted Biggio's playing time and have made him a non-factor in almost all fantasy formats.
Mar 30 2025Biggio is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio will head to the bench after he started at first base in the Royals' first two games while going 1-for-5 with a walk. Vinnie Pasquantino has been limited to designated hitter duties thus far while he works his way back from a minor hamstring strain, and once he's cleared to return to his usual post at first base, Biggio could see his opportunities dry up.
Mar 27 2025The Royals selected Biggio's contract from Triple-A Omaha on Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: In addition to winning a spot on the Opening Day roster, Biggio will draw a start at first base and will bat eighth in Thursday's game against the Guardians while Vinnie Pasquantino is limited to the designated-hitter spot. Biggio will fill a reserve role once Pasquantino is fully healthy.
Mar 25 2025Biggio is poised to make the Royals' Opening Day roster, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio still needs to be added to the 40-man roster, but he has won the final spot on the Royals' bench. The 29-year-old will offer depth at multiple positions and could get some run at first base early on in the season if Vinnie Pasquantino (hamstring) misses time.
Jan 5 2025Biggio agreed to a minor-league contract with the Royals on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 29-year-old spent time with three organizations in 2024 and elected free agency in November after Atlanta removed him from the 40-man roster. Biggio had a .798 OPS in his first two big-league seasons, but he's faltered to a .216/.325/.349 slash line over the past four years. He should serve as utility depth for Kansas City and isn't likely to be a significant contributor even if he makes the Opening Day roster.
Sep 20 2024Atlanta optioned Biggio to Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 29-year-old was added to Atlanta's big-league roster Sept. 11 shortly after being acquired from San Francisco, but he'll now head to Triple-A as Ozzie Albies (wrist) returns from the injured list. Biggio appeared in just four games during his brief time in the majors, and he has a .197/.314/.303 slash line in 78 games between his time with the Dodgers, the Blue Jays and Atlanta this season.
Sep 11 2024Atlanta selected Biggio's contract from Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggo was acquired via trade from the Giants over the weekend and now joins the major-league roster after just one game at Gwinnett. He could get some chances at second base if Whit Merrifield's foot injury continues to linger. Biggio has slashed just .197/.316/.306 at the big-league level in 2024.
Aug 23 2024Biggio signed a minor-league contract with the Giants on Friday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After spending nearly two months with the Dodgers, Biggio was released by Los Angeles on Aug. 9. He'll now remain in the NL West as he joins the Giants and will report to Triple-A Sacramento to begin his time with the club. The 29-year-old has slashed .197/.316/.306 with 19 RBI across 217 plate appearances in the majors this season, though he'll likely need to show improvement in the minors before earning a promotion to San Francisco.
Aug 9 2024The Dodgers released Biggio on Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio was removed from the club's 40-man roster earlier this week and is now officially a free agent after clearing waivers. He's slashed just .197/.316/.306 between the Blue Jays and Dodgers this season but should be able to latch on elsewhere with another team looking for utility depth.
Aug 5 2024Biggio was designated for assignment by the Dodgers on Monday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio appears to be the odd man out on the Dodgers' 40-man roster with Freddie Freeman (personal) being activated from the restricted list Monday. Biggio will now be placed on waivers and if he goes unclaimed, he'll either report to Triple-A Oklahoma City or elect free agency, the latter of which seems more likely. Over 30 games with the Dodgers this season, Biggio has produced a .192 average with three home runs, 10 RBI and 11 runs scored.
Jul 31 2024Biggio went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer in Tuesday's loss to the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio capped off a five-run first inning for the Dodgers with a two-run homer to right off Matt Waldron. He now has two homers and five RBI over his last three games while reaching base a total of six times, though he also has seven strikeouts in his last four games. Freddie Freeman (personal) is expected to be out once again Wednesday, leaving Biggio in line for another start against Dylan Cease, who's coming off a no-hitter in his previous outing.
Jul 27 2024Biggio went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional RBI, a double and a walk in a loss to Houston on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio put the Dodgers on the board with an RBI double in the second inning and later provided what looked to be a valuable insurance run with a solo homer in the eighth, though it wasn't enough to prevent the Astros from pulling out the victory. The former Blue Jay now has four runs batted in over his past five contests, collecting as many RBI during that span as he had accumulated across his previous 30 games combined. Biggio's two hits Saturday pushed him just over the Mendoza line, as he's slashing a paltry .202/.319/.307 across 192 plate appearances.
Jul 10 2024Biggio went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's 10-1 loss to the Phillies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio provided the Dodgers' lone run in the lopsided defeat with a solo shot off Zack Wheeler in the fifth inning. It's Biggio's first homer since joining Los Angeles on June 12. He had gone just 1-for-13 in his previous seven contests. Overall, Biggio's slashing an uninspiring .197/.314/.286 with three homers, 11 RBI, 20 runs scored and two steals across 172 plate appearances between the Dodgers and Blue Jays this year.
Jul 2 2024Biggio isn't in the Dodgers' lineup Tuesday versus the Diamondbacks. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio continues to split time at third base with Chris Taylor until Max Muncy (oblique) returns. Biggio has struggled with Los Angeles, batting .188 with a 33.3 percent strikeout rate in 12 games since being acquired from the Blue Jays. Taylor has the start at third Tuesday and is batting eighth.
Jun 30 2024Biggio is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio will head to the bench after he started at third base over the first two games of the series, going 0-for-5 with two strikeouts. Chris Taylor will step in at third base in place of Biggio, who is slashing just .167/.265/.167 with a 35.3 percent strikeout rate since being acquired from the Blue Jays on June 12.
Jun 26 2024Biggio is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The lefty-hitting Biggio has typically only sat against left-handed starting pitchers since joining the Dodgers earlier this month, but he'll hit the bench Wednesday while right-hander Erick Fedde takes the hill for the White Sox. Enrique Hernandez steps in for Biggio at third base.
Jun 24 2024Biggio is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The lefty-hitting Biggio will once again hit the bench while the Dodgers face off against a lefty starter (Garrett Crochet) for the third time in four games. Platoon mate Enrique Hernandez gets the nod at third base in Biggio's stead.
Jun 21 2024Biggio isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio has been platooning with righty Enrique Hernandez at third base since being acquired by the Dodgers. With lefty Patrick Sandoval on the mound for the Angels, it will be Hernandez who fills the hot corner Friday.
Jun 20 2024Biggio is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio will join fellow left-handed hitters Gavin Lux and Jason Heyward on the bench for the series finale in Colorado while the Rockies send southpaw Ty Blach to the hill. Enrique Hernandez will enter the lineup at third base as Biggio's replacement.
Jun 18 2024Biggio isn't in the Dodgers' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The lefty-hitting Biggio will get a day off versus southpaw Austin Gomber and the Rockies. Enrique Hernandez will get the nod at third base instead while batting seventh.
Jun 13 2024Biggio is in the lineup at third base and batting eighth Thursday versus the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio is getting his second start at third base for the Dodgers after going 1-for-3 in his debut for the team Wednesday. Thursday's start comes against righty Michael Lorenzen on the mound for the Rangers. With Max Muncy remaining on the injured list and Enrique Hernandez sitting versus a righty, it appears Biggio will be the primary option at third versus right-handers. Hernandez was filling the role as the everyday third baseman with Muncy out, but has been lackluster versus righties.
Jun 12 2024Biggio is starting at third base and batting ninth Wednesday against the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 29-year-old was officially acquired from Toronto earlier Wednesday and will immediately step into the starting nine for Los Angeles. Biggio struggled in 130 plate appearances for the Blue Jays this season with a .200/.323/.291 slash line and 32.3 percent strikeout rate, but he could see semi-regular playing time at the hot corner while Max Muncy (oblique) is sidelined. Enrique Hernandez has been operating as the Dodgers' primary third baseman but is on the bench Wednesday.
Jun 7 2024The Blue Jays designated Biggio for assignment Friday, Mike Wilner of the Toronto Star reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: In order to make room on the active roster for Spencer Horwitz, who was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo on Friday, the Blue Jays will push Biggio off their 40-man. The 29-year-old utility man began the year as an everyday starter, but he began losing work after slashing .200/.323/.291 with nine RBI through 130 plate appearances. Although his .614 OPS on the year represents the lowest mark of his six-year MLB career, his defensive versatility could still make him an attractive option for other organizations.
May 26 2024Biggio went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Sunday's 14-11 loss to Detroit. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio's home run Sunday was his first since the season opener way back on March 28. The 29-year-old has been in and out of the lineup this season due to subpar performance, batting .208 with two home runs, nine RBI and 12 runs scored in 38 games. Sunday's showing was a step in the right direction, but Biggio will need to further prove himself to earn consistent playing time at second base over Davis Schneider.
May 8 2024Biggio is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio will hit the bench for the fifth time in six games, with three of those absences coming while the Blue Jays have faced left-handed starting pitchers and two coming versus righties. The 29-year-old has maintained a strong-side platoon role at second base for much of the season, but with his OPS sitting at .621 through 29 games, Biggio looks like he could lose work to Davis Schneider moving forward.
May 5 2024Biggio is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With southpaw MacKenzie Gore on the hill for Washington, the lefty-hitting Biggio will retreat to the bench. Toronto will insert Isiah Kiner-Falefa into the lineup as its starting second baseman.
May 3 2024Biggio is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio is sitting out for a second consecutive contest, moving to the bench with southpaw Patrick Corbin on the mound for Washington. Instead, Isiah Kiner-Falefa will slide to second base while Ernie Clement mans the hot corner.
May 1 2024Biggio is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio had started each of the last five contests for the Blue Jays but will begin Wednesday's game on the bench. Toronto will turn to Davis Schneider at second base and Addison Barger in left field.
Apr 25 2024Biggio is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Royals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With the Blue Jays and Royals concluding their series with a day game after a night game and with a southpaw (Cole Ragans) on the hill for Kansas City, the lefty-hitting Biggio will get the afternoon off. Isiah Kiner-Falefa will step in for Biggio at the keystone.
Apr 23 2024Biggio isn't in the Blue Jays' lineup for Tuesday's game against Kansas City. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio will get a day to rest Tuesday after going 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored during Monday's victory. His absence will allow Davis Schneider to start at the keystone while batting sixth.
Apr 16 2024Biggio is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio is in the midst of a nine-game hit streak during which he has a .902 OPS, but he'll take a seat Tuesday as lefty Carlos Rodon pitches for New York. Isiah Kiner-Falefa will shift to the keystone while Ernie Clement starts at third base.
Apr 14 2024Biggio is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio will take a seat for the series finale after he had manned the keystone in each of the Blue Jays' last six games while going 8-for-22 with a double, a stolen base, an RBI and a run. Isiah Kiner-Falefa will spell Biggio at second base.
Apr 10 2024Biggio went 2-for-3 with a run scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's win over the Mariners. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The steal was his first of the season. Biggio has hit safely in five straight games and has been a near-everyday fixture in the Blue Jays' lineup, primarily at second base, but the team also hasn't faced many left-handed starters yet. Through 11 contests, the 28-year-old is batting .290 (9-for-31) with one homer, three runs and four RBI.
Apr 5 2024Biggio is starting at second base and batting sixth Friday against the Yankees. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 28-year-old was originally absent from Friday's lineup, but he's now starting after Kevin Kiermaier was scratched with a back injury. Biggio is off to a slow start this season, going 3-for-17 with a homer, four walks, three RBI and two runs in six games.
Apr 2 2024Biggio isn't in the Blue Jays' lineup Tuesday against the Astros. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The lefty-hitting Biggio will step out of the lineup Tuesday with southpaw Framber Valdez starting on the mound for Houston. Isiah Kiner-Falefa will slide over to second base while Biggio rests, allowing Ernie Clement to start at third and bat seventh.
Mar 28 2024Biggio went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and an additional run scored during Thursday's win over Tampa Bay. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio was excellent from the nine-slot Thursday, picking up his first long ball of the campaign in just his second at-bat. The 29-year-old has hit better than .235 just once in his five-year career and has seen fewer than 340 plate appearances in four straight campaigns, but he could have the opportunity to exceed both of those marks in 2024 if Thursday is any indication.
Mar 12 2024Biggio went 2-for-3 with a walk, two doubles and two runs scored in Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Rays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Getting the start at second base and batting leadoff in a Toronto lineup missing all its top stars, Biggio rapped out a pair of two-baggers off Zach Eflin. The 28-year-old utility player was brought along slowly in camp but has hit the ground running since seeing his first Grapefruit League action Thursday, going 4-for-8 with three doubles. Biggio could see a significant workload for the Jays this season as he splits his time between second base, third base and right field.
Mar 7 2024Biggio (shoulder) will start at second base and bat second Thursday versus the Tigers in his Grapefruit League debut. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio has been brought along methodically this spring after coming into camp with tendinitis in his left (non-throwing) shoulder, but he's been ramping up of late and is now ready to test himself in a game setting. The 28-year-old is likely to fill a super-utility role for the Blue Jays this season, seeing time at second base, third base and right field.
Mar 4 2024Biggio (shoulder) hit in a simulated game Sunday and has been going through full defensive drills, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio has been slow-played this spring after reporting to camp with some tendinitis in his left (non-throwing) shoulder. He's progressed well, though, and while it's unclear when he might play in a Grapefruit League contest, it doesn't appear to be far off.
Feb 28 2024Biggio (shoulder) has been hitting off a pitching machine regularly, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's not clear when Biggio might be cleared for Grapefruit League action, but the Blue Jays don't seem overly worried about his status at the moment. He's working his way back from tendinitis in his left shoulder.
Feb 22 2024Biggio (shoulder) was able to take a round of batting practice Thursday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Blue Jays manager John Schneider noted one week ago that Biggio was dealing with left shoulder tendinitis upon reporting to spring training, but the issue doesn't look to be anything too concerning. The fact that Biggio is already hitting without any apparent limitations bodes well for his chances of being available for Grapefruit League action in the near future, even if he's not included in the Blue Jays' initial spring lineups.
Feb 15 2024Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Thursday that Biggio has left shoulder tendinitis, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He has yet to face live pitching so far this spring, but it's possible the Jays are simply erring on the side of caution in order to prevent Biggio's shoulder from getting any worse. Schneider also noted Thursday that the utility player is expected to be in the mix for reps at second and third base -- a good indication that Biggio will be ready when Grapefruit League play begins later this spring.
Jan 11 2024Biggio agreed to a one-year, $4.21 million deal with the Blue Jays on Thursday, avoiding arbitration, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 28-year-old utility man has been a pretty steady producer for Toronto, save for a down 2021 season where he was worth -0.2 fWAR. Biggio is eligible at second base, outfield and first base, which is the most appealing aspect of his fantasy profile. He slashed .235/.340/.370 with nine homers and five steals in 338 plate appearances last season.
Oct 3 2023Biggio is starting at second base and batting fifth for Tuesday's Game 1 of the AL Wild Card Series in Minnesota, Ben Wagner of Sportsnet Radio reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: No player improved his standing with the Blue Jays in September more than Biggio, who slashed .277/.408/.374 while starting each of the final 13 games down the stretch. He played four different positions in the final month but appears in line to serve as Toronto's regular second baseman versus right-handers during the postseason.
Sep 30 2023Biggio went 2-for-4 with a walk, two runs and two RBI in Friday's 11-4 win over the Rays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio made his 10th consecutive start Friday and his third in a row at second base, where he appears to have supplanted both Davis Schneider and Whit Merrifield as the team's preferred option. The 28-year-old has earned the everyday role by slashing .276/.398/.382 in September, with his efforts at the dish not going unnoticed as Toronto aims to secure a wild-card berth.
Sep 20 2023Biggio is starting at second base and batting cleanup Wednesday against the Yankees. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 28-year-old has a .916 OPS in 13 games since Sept. 4 and will bat cleanup for the second straight contest Wednesday. Biggio's hot bat has resulted in him being a lineup regular so far in September, and he's seen action at first base, second base, third base and right field this month.
Sep 13 2023Biggio is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio has lately been filling the large side of a platoon at third base, so it's not a surprise he's sitting Wednesday with southpaw Jordan Montgomery pitching for Texas. Santiago Espinal will man the hot corner in Biggio's place and bat sixth.
Aug 20 2023Biggio is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio had started at second base or in right field in each of the past seven games, going 7-for-22 with five walks, five runs, three RBI and one stolen base. Despite his strong results at the plate of late, Biggio looks poised to see his opportunities take a hit moving forward as he likely moves into more of a utility role. Bo Bichette, Kevin Kiermaier, Matt Chapman and George Springer have all returned from recent injury-related absences, bringing the Toronto lineup back to full strength.
Aug 16 2023Biggio will start at second base and bat fifth in Wednesday's game against the Phillies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio will get his fifth straight start Wednesday, with four coming at the keystone during that stretch. He's earned the extra playing time by providing an .847 OPS through his first nine games in August, and Biggio could have an extended leash in a near-everyday role in the Toronto infield with Whit Merrifield having moved to the outfield to help cover for the injured Kevin Kiermaier (elbow).
Aug 9 2023Biggio is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The lefty-hitting Biggio had started the previous three games, but he'll hit the bench Wednesday with southpaw Logan Allen on the bump for Cleveland. With Kevin Kiermaier (elbow) landing on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Biggio will likely be battling with rookie Davis Schneider for one spot in the Blue Jays' regular lineup versus right-handed pitching.
Aug 7 2023Biggio went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in a 3-1 win against the Guardians on Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: In a contest that featured little offense, Biggio provided the biggest hit with a two-run shot in the eighth inning that broke a scoreless tie. The long ball snapped a 20-game homerless streak for Biggio that dated back to June 25. It's been a mostly forgettable campaign for the 28-year-old, as he's slashing a quiet .213/.295/.396 with eight homers, 22 RBI, 29 runs and three stolen bases over 183 plate appearances.
Jul 23 2023Biggio went 2-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 9-8 loss to the Mariners. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Getting the start at second base and batting eighth, Biggio stole his first bag since June 4 and only his third of the season. The utility player is batting .292 (7-for-24) in July with a 4:5 BB:K, but there's no clear path to consistent playing time for him on the Toronto roster.
Jun 25 2023Biggio went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Sunday's 12-1 victory over the Athletics. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio plated Vladimir Guerrero and Matt Chapman on a three-run blast off Yacksel Rios in the eighth inning to notch his third homer over his last nine games. Sunday's contest was also Biggio's second straight multi-hit game. During that nine-game stretch, Biggio has gone 8-for-22 (.363) with eight RBI and six runs scored.
Jun 14 2023Biggio went 2-for-2 with a solo homer and two runs scored in Tuesday's loss to the Orioles. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio is now 4-for-6 with a pair of home runs in his last two games after going 1-for-12 in his previous six contests. The 28-year-old Biggio has primarily served a utility role for Toronto this season, though he's seen his playing time tick up a bit with Brandon Belt (hamstring) on the IL. Through 109 plate appearances this year, Biggio is slashing .202/.275/.404 with six homers, 17 runs scored, 12 RBI and two steals.
Jun 12 2023Biggio went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and a second run scored in Sunday's win over the Twins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Getting the start at first base and hitting ninth, Biggio took Emilio Pagan deep in the bottom of the eighth inning to complete a comeback from a 6-1 deficit. The 28-year-old utility player has seen his playing time tick up a bit over the last few weeks, and he's responded by batting .294 (10-for-34) with a double, three homers, a steal, seven runs and seven RBI in 39 plate appearances over his last 14 appearances.
Jun 5 2023Biggio is starting in right field and batting eighth Monday versus the Astros, Mike Wilner of the Toronto Star reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Normal right fielder George Springer will serve as the designated hitter. Biggio has finally started to pick it up at the plate over the last couple weeks, reaching base 12 times in his last 29 plate appearances.
May 27 2023Biggio went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's loss to Minnesota. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio stepped in for Kevan Kiermaier, who exited Saturday's contest with lower back discomfort after just two innings and came up big with a solo homer in the fourth off Pablo Lopez. Through 30 games, Biggio is slashing .167/.231/.347 with four home runs, 12 runs scored and six RBI. Considering his struggles at the plate and his inability to lock down a consistent spot in the Blue Jays lineup, Biggio remains an unsavory fantasy option in most formats.
May 16 2023Biggio is starting in right field and batting eight for the Blue Jays on Tuesday versus the Yankees, Mike Wilner of the Toronto Star reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He'll get a shot to play right field while George Springer takes a designated hitter day. It's the first start in nearly a week for Biggio.
Apr 6 2023Biggio went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Thursday against the Royals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Apr 5 2023Biggio is starting at second base and batting ninth for the Blue Jays on Wednesday in Kansas City. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Mar 10 2023Biggio went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Thursday's split-squad game against Atlanta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Mar 2 2023Biggio will split his playing time roughly equally between the infield and outfield this season, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Jan 13 2023Biggio signed a one-year, $2.8 million contract with the Blue Jays on Friday to avoid arbitration, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Sep 24 2022Biggio isn't starting Saturday against Tampa Bay. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Sep 23 2022Biggio isn't in the lineup Friday against the Rays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Sep 7 2022Biggio is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He'll retreat to the bench after starting each of the past four games at either second base or first base while going 3-for-10 with a pair of home runs and two walks. Vladimir Guerrero should see the overwhelming majority of starts at first base moving forward, but Biggio should be part of what looks to be a rotation at second base that also includes Santiago Espinal and Whit Merrifield.
Sep 4 2022Biggio will start at second base and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Pirates. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The utility man will make his third start in four games, this time filling in at the keystone for Santiago Espinal (hand) after making his previous two starts at first base. Espinal is considered day-to-day with the hand injury, so if he's available to return at some point during the Blue Jays' upcoming series with the Orioles that begins Monday, Biggio will likely see his playing time take a hit.
Aug 10 2022Biggio is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles, Mike Wilner of the Toronto Star reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After starting each of the last four games -- two at first base and two at second base -- Biggio will head to the bench as the Blue Jays go with Vladimir Guerrero and Santiago Espinal at those respective positions. Biggio has gotten off to a nice start to August with an .816 OPS through six contests, and he could be able to maintain a part-time role for the Blue Jays until George Springer's (elbow) return from the injured list pushes Whit Merrifield to the infield on a more frequent basis.
Aug 9 2022Biggio went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Monday's 7-4 loss to the Orioles. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Getting the start at second base and batting ninth, the 27-year-old launched his first homer since late June and only his third of the season in 198 plate appearances. Biggio is getting more consistent playing time while George Springer (elbow) is on the shelf and Whit Merrifield is needed in center field, and he's responded by going 4-for-13 (.308) with a double and a home run over the last five games.
Jul 28 2022Biggio is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Tigers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio's streak of four consecutive starts will come to an end while the Blue Jays roll out a lineup consisting of their preferred option at each position in the series opener with Detroit. Due to his defensive versatility along with the team's inclination to periodically dole out rest days to lineup regulars, Biggio should still pick up a handful of starts per week even while Toronto is at full strength.
Jul 27 2022Biggio will start at second base and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Cardinals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio will be filling in for a resting Santiago Espinal in what marks the former's fourth consecutive start. The 27-year-old will carry a five-game hitting streak into Wednesday's contest, but Biggio is unlikely to handle anything more than a part-time role moving forward while all of Toronto's key regulars are healthy.
Jul 25 2022Biggio went 1-for-4 with a two-RBI single, a run scored and a steal in Sunday's victory over Boston. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio sent Vladimir Guerrero and George Springer home on a first-inning single, then scored on a Raimel Tapia triple later that inning. Biggio also swiped second base off Brayan Bello for his second steal of the year. The second baseman has a lackluster .229 batting average, but has shown some signs of improvement as he extended his hit streak to four games.
Jul 12 2022Biggio is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Phillies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With catcher Danny Jansen (finger) returning from the 10-day injured list and starting behind the plate Tuesday, Alejandro Kirk is likely to begin seeing more starts out of the designated-hitter spot. As a result, Biggio and Raimel Tapia are likely to see their opportunities decrease moving forward, since the Blue Jays had previously been able to open up spots in the lineup for the two while rotating a number of different players at DH. Biggio had started in nine of the Jays' previous 11 games in July, while Tapia picked up seven starts over that stretch.
Jul 3 2022Biggio will start at second base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Rays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio started both ends of Saturday's doubleheader and is now set to make his fourth consecutive start for the Blue Jays. Three of those four starts have come at second base, as Biggio picks up extra work while Santiago Espinal shifts elsewhere on the infield to give the likes of Bo Bichette and Matt Chapman a breather. Biggio is slashing .294/.442/.544 with a pair of homers since the beginning of June.
Jun 28 2022Biggio is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio went 3-for-11 with a home run, a double, three walks, two runs and two RBI while starting in each of the past four games, but he'll cede his spot in the lineup to Raimel Tapia on Tuesday. Until catcher Danny Jansen (finger) returns from the 10-day injured list, Biggio looks like he'll have an edge on Tapia and Gabriel Moreno for the final opening in Toronto's everyday lineup.
Jun 27 2022Biggio will start in left field and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Red Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Even after George Springer put an end to a three-game absence in Sunday's loss to the Brewers, Biggio has still been able to maintain a spot in the Toronto lineup. He'll stick in the starting nine for the fourth game in a row, this time playing the outfield while Lourdes Gurriel serves as Toronto's designated hitter. With Alejandro Kirk receiving more work behind the plate since top backstop Danny Jansen (finger) landed on the injured list earlier this month, Biggio looks to be manager Charlie Montoyo's preferred option to fill the opening in the everyday lineup, at least versus right-handed pitching. Biggio has helped his cause by producing a .935 OPS through 18 games in June.
Jun 24 2022Biggio went 2-for-2 with a solo home run, two walks and two total runs scored in Friday's 9-4 win over the Brewers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio padded the Blue Jays' lead with his seventh-inning solo shot. While he's struggled to produce at the plate, there's been signs of life lately for the infielder, as he's gone 5-for-7 across his last three games with both of his homers on the year in that span. He's lifted his slash line to .220/.373/.390 with 10 RBI, 14 runs scored and a stolen base through 103 plate appearances, though he'll have to sustain this small hot streak to regain a regular role in the lineup.
Jun 21 2022Biggio went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a double in Monday's loss to the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio accounted for two of Toronto's five extra-base hits in the contest, belting a double to right field in the seventh inning and swatting a two-run homer in the ninth that brought the Blue Jays to within a run. He had been struggling coming into the contest, going 0-for-13 with eight strikeouts over his previous four games. Biggio has yet to get going at the plate on the campaign, slashing .190/.333/.329 with one homer, eight RBI, 11 runs, a stolen base and a 30.2 percent strikeout over 96 plate appearances.
Jun 19 2022Biggio is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio will head to the bench after going hitless in 10 at-bats while starting each of the past three contests. Until the Blue Jays bring Danny Jansen (finger) back from the 10-day injured list, Biggio, Gabriel Moreno and Raimel Tapia look like they'll have to battle for one spot in Toronto's everyday lineup.
Jun 15 2022Biggio is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio will take a seat after he went 6-for-20 with three extra-base hits, four walks, three runs and two RBI while starting in each of the Jays' last six games. The 27-year-old has looked far better with Toronto following his May 26 call-up from Triple-A than he did earlier in the campaign, but he still looks to be stuck in a utility role with Vladimir Guerrero, Santiago Espinal, Bo Bichette and Matt Chapman locked in as the Jays' everyday infielders.
Jun 13 2022Biggio will start at second base and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Orioles. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio will stay in the lineup for a fifth straight game after going 5-for-14 with two doubles, three walks, two runs and one RBI across the previous four contests. His increased playing time has coincided with Matt Chapman (wrist) missing three consecutive contests, so Biggio could be pushed into more of a utility role if Chapman is able to avoid a trip to the injured list.
Jun 7 2022Biggio is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio logged eight starts in nine games following his promotion from Triple-A Buffalo on May 26, but he'll be taking a seat Tuesday for the third contest in a row. With Vladimir Guerrero and Matt Chapman established as the everyday starters at the two corner-infield spots and with Santiago Espinal having rebuilt some job security as the Blue Jays' primary second baseman by homering in back-to-back games, Biggio doesn't have a clear path to regular at-bats at any spot.
May 29 2022Biggio will start at first base and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He'll make his fourth consecutive start at his third different position, this time filling in at first base while Vladimir Guerrero contends with a sore wrist. Biggio, who has gone 2-for-8 with a double, a walk, an RBI, a run and a stolen base in his first three starts following his call-up from Triple-A Buffalo, will likely move into a utility role if Guerrero's wrist issue proves to be a short-term concern.
May 26 2022Biggio was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo on Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio missed several weeks in late April and early May while on the COVID-19 injured list, and he was sent to the minors after clearing the league's health and safety protocols. The 27-year-old has played in 10 games at Buffalo, and he's hit .276 with three doubles, nine runs, three RBI and two stolen bases. Biggio will be available for Thursday's series opener against the Angels, but it seems as though he'll serve mainly in a depth role since Santiago Espinal has performed well as the primary second baseman.
May 16 2022Biggio was activated from the COVID-19 injured list Monday and optioned to Triple-A Buffalo. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio hit just .043/.214/.043 in 13 games prior to his absence. With Santiago Espinal emerging as an everyday second baseman, Biggio no longer has a starting spot available, though it's still somewhat surprising that his defensive versatility didn't earn him a bench role. It may take an injury ahead of him for Biggio to return to the big leagues.
May 10 2022Biggio (illness) will begin a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio, who has resided on the COVID-19 injured list since testing positive for the virus April 25, was expected to start his rehab assignment last week, but the Blue Jays opted to hold him back for a few more days to regain conditioning. The 27-year-old now appears healthy again and will look to get some at-bats in at Buffalo, but the Blue Jays likely aren't in any rush to activate him from the IL. Before being shut down, Biggio was slashing .043/.214/.043 over 28 plate appearances and had lost hold of the everyday role at second base to Santiago Espinal.
May 4 2022Biggio (illness) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Buffalo on Thursday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After clearing all COVID-19-related protocols Monday and resuming workouts, Biggio advanced to facing live pitching Wednesday, as he stepped up to the plate to take a few at-bats against rehabbing lefty Ryan Borucki (finger). According to Keegan Matheson of MLB.com Biggio is expected to remain with Buffalo at least for the duration of the Blue Jays' weekend road trip in Cleveland, so he's unlikely to be activated from the COVID-19 injured list until next week.
May 2 2022Biggio cleared COVID-19 protocols Monday and began baseball activities, Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio has been on the COVID-19 injured list for the past week and was reportedly experiencing symptoms. It looks like he'll be able to return within the next few days, though he'll need a day or two to get sharp again before being activated.
Apr 25 2022Biggio was placed on the COVID-19 injured list Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: General manager Ross Atkins announced earlier Monday that Biggio was experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, so it's not a surprise to see him headed to the injured list. The 27-year-old, who has filled a utility role early this season after losing his starting job, will need to clear MLB's testing protocols before rejoining the team.
Apr 17 2022Biggio will start in right field and bat ninth Sunday against the Athletics. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio will pick up his third straight start at a different position, as he previously drew assignments at first base Friday and at second base Saturday. Santiago Espinal appears to have surpassed Biggio as the preferred option at the keystone for the time being, but Teoscar Hernandez's (oblique) recent move to the injured list could create a path for Biggio to pick up more work in the outfield. The 27-year-old is still in search of his first hit of the season, though he's at least reached base four times thanks to a pair of walks and hit-by-pitches.
Apr 12 2022Biggio is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The lefty-hitting Biggio will take a seat with southpaw Nestor Cortes on the hill for the Yankees, but the former has been losing work to right-handed pitching of late, too. After starting in both of Toronto's first two games, Biggio sat out Sunday against the Rangers and right-hander Spencer Howard and Monday against the Yankees and righty Jameson Taillon. Santiago Espinal will pick up his third consecutive start Tuesday and appears to have supplanted Biggio as the Blue Jays' preferred option at the keystone for the time being.
Apr 11 2022Biggio isn't starting Monday's game against the Yankees. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After starting in each of the Blue Jays' first two games of the regular season, Biggio will be out of the lineup for a second straight matchup. Santiago Espinal will take over at the keystone and bat ninth.
Apr 10 2022Biggio is not in Sunday's lineup against Texas. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio started each of Toronto's first two games, batting ninth on each occasion. He'll sit for the first time Sunday, with Santiago Espinal drawing the starting at second base while hitting eighth.
Mar 27 2022Biggio went 1-for-2 with a walk and a solo home run in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Yankees. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Mar 22 2022Biggio and the Blue Jays avoided arbitration Tuesday by agreeing to a a one-year, $2,122,500 deal, Kiley McDaniel of ESPN.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Mar 21 2022Biggio is making his way back from a sprained left elbow but will return to game action soon, Mitch Bannon of SI.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Sep 28 2021Biggio will be on the bench Tuesday against the Yankees. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Sep 4 2021Biggio (elbow/back/neck) will resume his rehab assignment with Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio has been on the injured list for just over a month. He was initially sidelined with back and neck problems but then suffered a sprained left UCL in a rehab game in late August. He resumed hitting Saturday after being shut down for a week. He should be able to return sometime in mid-September, though it's not yet clear how many more rehab games the Blue Jays want to see him play.
Aug 25 2021Biggio (elbow/back/neck) was diagnosed with a grade 1 sprain of his left UCL and will not hit for at least a week, Mike Wilner of the Toronto Star reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The injuries continue piling up for Biggio, who hasn't played for the Blue Jays since Aug. 2 but was rehabbing with Triple-A Buffalo when he hurt his elbow Sunday. The best-case scenario is an early-September return for the 26-year-old, although he'll probably require more rehab work once healthy and thus miss additional time.
Aug 23 2021Biggio (back/neck) will have his left elbow evaluated after he dove for a ball in Sunday's rehab game at Triple-A Buffalo, Scott Mitchell of TSN.ca reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio has been dealing with back and neck injuries that have kept him on the 10-day injured list since Aug. 3. He had appeared in seven games during his rehab assignment and went 3-for-22 with a double, four runs and five walks during that time. An updated timetable for his return will likely be revealed based on the severity of his left elbow issue.
Aug 12 2021Biggio (back/neck) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Buffalo on Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio landed on the injured list Aug. 3, and it's unlikely that he'll require a lengthy rehab assignment given the brevity of his absence. The 26-year-old is eligible to return as early as Friday, but the Blue Jays haven't yet indicated whether he'll return to the majors after just one rehab game.
Aug 3 2021Biggio was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with back/neck problems, Scott Mitchell of TSN.ca reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Blue Jays are hopeful that Biggio will be able to return when first eligible on Aug. 13. Corey Dickerson (foot) was activated in a corresponding move.
Jul 31 2021Biggio is not starting Saturday's game against the Royals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He's hitting just .186 against left-handed pitching this season, so he takes a seat with southpaw Mike Minor on the hill for Kansas City. In 11 games since the All-Star break, Biggio has gone 6-for-32 with two RBI. Santiago Espinal will start at third base and bat eighth Saturday.
Jul 30 2021Biggio will sit against lefty Daniel Lynch and the Royals on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio has seen his role decrease against southpaws recently, as he's now been on the bench against three of the last four left-handers the Blue Jays have faced. Santiago Espinal will be the third baseman in his absence.
Jul 28 2021Biggio is not in the lineup for Game 2 of Wednesday's doubleheader at Boston. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio started the matinee and went 1-for-3 with a pair of strikeouts. The 26-year-old has struggled since the All-Star break, going 5-for-27 with a solo home run, two walks and an additional run scored in nine games. Santiago Espinal will start at third base in the nightcap.
Jul 25 2021Biggio is out of the lineup Sunday against the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio is 4-for-18 with a solo homer and an additional run scored in six games since the All-Star break, and he'll take a seat Sunday in New York. Santiago Espinal will start at the hot corner in his place.
Jul 20 2021Biggio went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's loss to the Red Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He took Nick Pivetta deep in the fourth inning, but the Jays came into the frame already in a 12-0 hole. Biggio hadn't gone yard since June 16, snapping a 22-game power drought with the blast, and on the season he's slashing .226/.331/.378 with seven homers, three steals, 25 RBI and 26 runs through 67 contests.
Jul 18 2021Biggio is not in the lineup for the first game of Sunday's doubleheader against the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Santiago Espinal will start at third base for a second day in a row. Biggio is hitting .179 with zero home runs and eight strikeouts in nine games this month.
Jul 17 2021Biggio is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 26-year-old went 1-for-3 with a walk Friday and is now hitting .219 with four walks and six RBI in his last 10 games. Santiago Espinal will start at third base and bat eighth as the Blue Jays face lefty Kolby Allard.
Jul 10 2021Biggio is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 26-year-old gets a day off after going 0-for-3 with three strikeouts, a walk and a stolen base Friday night. Biggio has hit .273 with four doubles, four walks and eight RBI in his last 10 games and is certainly trending upward in the middle of what's been a rough, .229/.335/.376 season. Santiago Espinal will start at third base and bat eighth Saturday.
Jul 8 2021Biggio went 2-for-4 with two doubles, a run scored and two RBI in Wednesday's 10-2 rout of the Orioles. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's been a sluggish first half for the 26-year-old, but Biggio is now healthy and seems to be getting comfortable at the plate. Over his last nine games, he's slashing .300/.343/.433 with eight RBI, although he hasn't homered since June 16.
Jul 1 2021Biggio isn't starting Thursday's game against the Mariners. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio will get a breather after he went 5-for-11 with two doubles, four RBI, two walks and three strikeouts across the last three games. Santiago Espinal will start at third base and bat eighth.
Jun 27 2021Biggio went 2-for-3 with a double, two RBI, a walk and a strikeout in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Orioles. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio had gone just 0-for-7 with a run, a walk and a strikeout across his last two games, and he got a day off Saturday as a result. However, he broke out of his slump in his return to the lineup and provided some insurance in the bottom of the fifth inning with a two-run double. In his 15 games since he returned from the injured list, the 26-year-old has hit .292 with three home runs, four doubles, seven runs and six RBI.
Jun 26 2021Biggio isn't starting Saturday's game against the Orioles. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio had started each of the last nine games, but he went 0-for-7 with a run, a walk and a strikeout across his last two appearances. Santiago Espinal will take his place at the hot corner and bat eighth.
Jun 17 2021Biggio went 1-for-2 with a walk and a solo home run in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Yankees. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: His fifth-inning blast off Gerrit Cole gave the Jays a 2-1 lead, but it was their last gasp of offense on the night. Since returning to action from a neck injury, Biggio has gone 7-for-17 (.412) with three walks, two doubles and three of his six homers on the year.
Jun 15 2021Biggio is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio started four games in a row after returning from a neck injury Friday. He'll sit against southpaw Jordan Montgomery on Tuesday while Santiago Espinal gets a start at third base.
Jun 13 2021Biggio went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double, two runs and a walk in Sunday's 18-4 win over the Red Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio has recorded hits in each of his three games since he returned from the injured list, and he's blasted four extra-base hits across the last two games. The 26-year-old is now slashing .230/.337/.388 with five home runs, 17 runs and 13 RBI this season.
Jun 12 2021Biggio went 3-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's win over the Red Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio looked excellent at the plate Saturday and has recorded hits in his two games since returning from a stint on the injured list. This was his first multi-hit game since May 15 and while he boosted his average to .222 with a .685 OPS, he continues to have a down year across most offensive categories.
Jun 11 2021Biggio (neck) is starting at third base in his return from the injured list Friday against the Red Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio was activated from the injured list earlier Friday. As expected he'll start at third base during his return at Fenway Park on Friday.
Jun 10 2021Biggio (neck) could be reinstated from the 10-day injured list during this weekend's four-game series in Boston, Mitch Bannon of SI.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio has been sidelined since May 22 due to a cervical spine ligament sprain, but he began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Buffalo on Sunday. The 26-year-old has gone just 1-for-9 with a solo home run and two strikeouts across two rehab games in the minors, but his return to the major-league club appears to be imminent.
Jun 6 2021Biggio (neck) is set to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Buffalo on Sunday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio, who's been on the injured list since May 22 with a cervical spine ligament sprain, was declared day-to-day by manager Charlie Montoyo on Tuesday. The versatile 26-year-old will go on a rehab assignment, though it does not figure to be a very long trip to the minors. A Tuesday return against the White Sox figures to be a very realistic possibility at this point.
Jun 1 2021Manager Charlie Montoyo said Tuesday that Biggio (neck) is still considered day-to-day, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio has been on the 10-day injured list since May 22 due to a cervical spine ligament sprain, but he'll miss more than the minimum amount of time. While he won't be reinstated Tuesday, the team continues to monitor his progress daily. Santiago Espinal and Joe Panik have been handling the duties at third base in Biggio's absence.
May 22 2021Biggio was placed on the 10-day injured list with a cervical spine ligament sprain Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio was held out of Friday's lineup with what was originally referred to as a sore neck. He wound up appearing off the bench, but the injury is evidently bad enough that he'll need to be shut down for at least 10 days. Whether or not he'll be able to return when first eligible at the start of June remains to be seen. Santiago Espinal will start at third base Saturday and could feature regularly until he returns.
May 21 2021Biggio, who is not in Friday's lineup against the Rays, is dealing with a sore neck and could require a stint on the injured list, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: When manager Charlie Montoyo was asked if Biggio would go on the IL, he said, "We'll see how it goes. Right now he's day-to-day." Apparently Biggio has been dealing with the neck soreness all season and is having trouble swinging the bat. He is hitting .206 with three home runs and two steals.
May 18 2021Biggio (neck) was moved to DH for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The neck soreness is making it difficult for Biggio to throw, according to manager Charlie Montoyo. The issue appears to be minor, but it's yet to be seen whether the infielder's hitting will suffer as well from the neck soreness.
May 16 2021Biggio is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio had two hits and a stolen base Saturday, his second multi-hit game in his last three, but he still sits with an underwhelming .214/.336/.339 slash line for the season. This should be considered a day off until there's indication otherwise. Santiago Espinal will get the nod at third base and bat eighth against right-hander Chase Anderson.
May 13 2021Biggio went 2-for-3 with a double, two RBI, a run, two walks and a strikeout in Thursday's 8-4 win over Atlanta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio had gone hitless in his last nine at-bats, but he reached base four times in Thursday's victory. The 26-year-old is now hitting .210 with three home runs, 13 runs and 10 RBI this season.
May 8 2021Biggio went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run, two walks and an additional run scored Saturday in Toronto's 8-4 win over the Astros. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio homered off Cristian Javier in the second inning for his third long ball of the season. The 26-year-old has been inconsistent at the plate this year, but he's had his hottest stretch over the last six games, reaching base safely 10 times. He appears to be more patient at the plate, drawing two walks Saturday and not striking out in his last 16 plate appearances, lowering his strikeout rate to 29.7%.
Apr 30 2021Biggio is not in the lineup Friday against the Braves. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 26-year-old started the past seven games, including the last three in right field, but he'll head to the bench Friday after going 6-for-25 with nine strikeouts during that stretch. Teoscar Hernandez (illness) was activated from the COVID-19 injured list and is starting in right field, while Santiago Espinal is covering the hot corner.
Apr 27 2021Biggio went 3-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's win over the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio plated a run in the fourth with a sac fly that scored Alejandro Kirk, and this might be the game the third baseman was needing to spark his confidence up. Even though he's now posted two three-hit outings over his last three appearances, he's still hitting just .260 over his last eight games -- going hitless six times during that stretch.
Apr 20 2021Biggio (hand) is starting in right field and batting sixth Tuesday against the Red Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He missed a few games with a bruised hand. Biggio is hitting .171 with a .292 OBP, two home runs, zero steals and a 33.3 percent strikeout rate through 13 games.
Apr 18 2021Biggio (hand) is not in the lineup Sunday against the Royals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 26-year-old appeared as a pinch runner during Saturday's doubleheader, but he hasn't played the field or had a plate appearance since Thursday while nursing a bruised right hand. Biggio will have an extra two days to recover with Monday's scheduled off day, so it's not a major surprise to see him on the bench Sunday. Joe Panik will receive the start at third base in the series finale.
Apr 17 2021Biggio (hand) won't start the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Royals, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio will do some baseball activities Saturday, and manager Charlie Montoyo said that the 26-year-old could return to action for Sunday's series finale. Santiago Espinal took his place at third base for Saturday's matinee, and Espinal or Joe Panik could be options to fill in for the second game of the twin bill.
Apr 15 2021X-rays to on Biggio's right hand came back negative Thursday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.careports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio exited Thursday's game in the seventh inning after taking a line drive off of his hand. It appears he dodged anything significant, though he may have aggravated a similar injury he was dealing with toward the end of spring training. Biggio will have an immediately opportunity to return to the lineup, as the Blue Jays will take on the Royals for the next game of their series on Friday.
Apr 10 2021Biggio isn't starting Saturday's game against the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio had started each of the first eight games this season and went 4-for-28 with two home runs, five runs and 10 strikeouts. However, Santiago Espinal will start at third base Saturday, batting sixth.
Apr 8 2021Biggio went 1-for-4 with a solo homer in a loss to the Angels on Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 25-year-old smacked a homer off Griffin Canning in the sixth inning and scored twice. Biggio looks to be a spark plug in a very young Blue Jays offense that will continue to improve, especially upon the addition of George Springer, whenever he returns from injury. Biggio had a breakout year in 2020, slashing .250/.375/.432.
Apr 5 2021Biggio went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, two walks and three runs scored Monday against the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio belted his first homer of the young season in the top of the second, increasing Toronto's lead to four. He also managed to reach base on a pair of walks, crossing the plate a total of three times on the day. Monday's performance was a welcome sight for the 25-year-old, who entered the contest 1-for-12 over his first three games of the 2021 season.
Mar 25 2021Biggio (finger) returned to game action Thursday, but remains sore, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio took a groundball off his finger Monday, which didn't cause a major injury. However, he disclosed that it caused a blood blister and that he remains sore. The issue doesn't appear likely to cost him game time in the regular season.
Mar 24 2021Biggio underwent X-rays on Wednesday that revealed no fracture to his pinkie finger, Mike Wilner of the Toronto Star reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio was scratched from Wednesday's spring lineup due to finger discomfort, but it doesn't appear as though he'll be forced to miss additional time. Manager Charlie Montoyo said Wednesday that Biggio is currently considered day-to-day. It's unlikely that the injury will limit the 25-year-old's availability for Opening Day.
Mar 21 2021Biggio has gone 6-for-25 (.240) through 12 Grapefruit League games with two doubles, a triple, a home run, three stolen bases in three attempts and a 6:4 BB:K. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 25-year-old has been displaying the patience, extra-base power and intelligence on the basepaths that have made him such a sought-after commodity at the draft table. Biggio has played a full season's worth of games (159) in the majors over the last years, posting a .240/.368/.430 slash line with 24 homers, 76 RBI, 88 runs and 20 steals, and his production could take another step forward in 2021.
Feb 26 2021Biggio could be among the players most affected by the new ball being used in MLB this season if it does reduce flyball distance as expected, Gregor Chisholm of The Toronto Star reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 25-year-old had the eighth-lowest average distance on his home runs last season, and over the last two years Biggio has hit nearly four more homers than predicted based on his batted-ball profile. It wouldn't take much of a change for a significant number of his flies to die on the warning track instead of just clearing the wall, but any lack of distance from the new ball could be countered by the fact that the Jays will begin the season playing in Dunedin, a stadium with a very friendly profile for left-handed power, rather than in Buffalo or across the border in Toronto.
Feb 24 2021Manager Charlie Montoyo said Wednesday that Biggio will be the team's primary third baseman in 2021, Mike Wilner of the Toronto Star reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio was expected to see more time at third base in 2021 after the Blue Jays acquired Marcus Semien during the offseason, and Montoyo confirmed the assumption Wednesday. However, Montoyo also said that Biggio will see some work at other positions as well, which isn't surprising given his defensive versatility. The 25-year-old appeared in 59 games during the abbreviated 2020 season, slashing .250/.375/.432 with eight home runs, 28 RBI and six stolen bases.
Jan 26 2021Biggio may see the bulk of his time at third base in 2021 following the signing of Marcus Semien on Tuesday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio appeared in 10 of the last 13 games at third base in 2020, but he spent most of the past two seasons working at the keystone. Semien has primarily played at shortstop in his career but will now shift to second base, with Bo Bichette remaining at shortstop for Toronto. Biggio also saw some time at all three outfield spots last season, so he could fill a utility role if the team wants to give Vladimir Guerrero another look at the hot corner. Regardless of where he plays in the field, Biggio should see plenty of at-bats for the Blue Jays with a .798 OPS through his first 159 big-league games.
Sep 27 2020Biggio went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Orioles. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Baltimore lefty John Means no-hit the Jays for 5.2 innings, but Biggio ruined his night by taking him deep in the sixth for the game's first run. The 25-year-old is slashing .253/.375/.438 on the year with eight homers and six steals in six attempts -- in fact, Biggio is a perfect 20-for-20 on the basepaths to begin his big-league career. Per Sportsnet, he is seven successful steals shy of tying Tim Raines for the MLB record in that department.
Sep 25 2020Biggio will sit Friday against the Orioles. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio gets a rest the day after the Blue Jays clinched a playoff berth. Jonathan Villar starts at second base in his absence.
Sep 24 2020Biggio went 2-for-5 with a double, a walk, three runs and two RBI in Wednesday's 14-1 win over the Blue Jays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Toronto offense has been on a heater since Sunday, and Biggio -- the team's leadoff hitter -- has been one of the main beneficiaries over the last four games. After failing to score in a stretch of 11 consecutive games, Biggio has now crossed home seven times so far during the final week of the regular season. With a .796 OPS to go with seven home runs and six steals during the abbreviated campaign, Biggio has essentially replicated the numbers he posted as a rookie on a per-plate appearance basis. He's also made 31 starts at second base, 14 in the outfield and seven at third base, so he could have a chance at carrying eligibility at three positions in some fantasy leagues heading into 2021.
Sep 13 2020Biggio is getting his first big-league start at third base while leading off Sunday against the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He has played all three outfield spots this season in addition to second base and now third base. Travis Shaw is taking a seat in this one, and it's possible Biggio will get some more starts at third with Jonathan Villar starting at second base going forward.
Sep 5 2020Biggio isn't in Saturday's lineup against the Red Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio will get a day off following Friday's doubleheader in which he went 2-for-8 with a run and three strikeouts. Joe Panik will start at second base in his absence.
Sep 4 2020Biggio went 1-for-3 with two walks, a double and two runs scored in Thursday's extra-inning win over the Red Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 25-year-old continues to thrive atop the order for the Jays. Since the beginning of August, Biggio is slashing .269/.402/.463 through 29 games with four homers, three steals, 15 RBI and 24 runs.
Aug 29 2020Biggio went 2-for-4 with two hits and two RBI on Saturday against Baltimore. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio came to bat with runners on second and third in the fourth inning and delivered with a two-run single. He's logged at least one hit in 13 of his last 16 games, driving in 10 and scoring 17 runs in that span. Overall, he's maintained a .274/.397/.487 line across 142 plate appearances.
Aug 24 2020Biggio went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and two runs scored Monday against the Rays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio provided Toronto with an insurance run in the top of the ninth inning, coming through with an RBI double to right field. He's now reached base safely in 17 straight games, batting .350 with 11 extra-base hits and 11 RBI over that stretch.
Aug 22 2020Biggio went 1-for-3 with two walks, an RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 2-1 extra-inning loss to the Rays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Aug 20 2020Biggio went 2-for-3 with a double, an RBI and a walk in the 3-2 win over the Phillies in Game 1 of Thursday's doubleheader. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio came through with a huge two-out hit in the sixth, driving in Billy McKinney with a double to tie the game at two. The Blue Jays went on to win the seven-inning game on a walkoff single by Lourdes Gurriel. Biggio now has 13 RBI and is slashing a solid .250/.364/.512 on the season.
Aug 19 2020Biggio is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Aug 18 2020Biggio went 3-for-5 with a homer, two runs scored and three RBI in Monday's 7-2 win over the Orioles. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Aug 15 2020Biggio went 1-for-2 with a walk, a solo home run and two additional runs scored in Friday's win over the Rays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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.
Aug 11 2020Biggio went 2-for-4 with a double, a run, an RBI, a stolen base and a walk in Tuesday's extra-inning win over the Marlins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio has largely struggled since going 5-for-13 in the opening series of the season, but he's picked up his play over the past four games, going 5-for-15 with two homers, four runs, three RBI and four walks.
Aug 9 2020Biggio went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk Sunday against the Red Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio took Nate Eovaldi deep in the third inning for his second home run of team's series against the Red Sox. Already his fourth long ball of the season, Biggio has shown improved power early on by maintaining a .231 ISO. He's struggled otherwise, hitting just .192/.276/.423 through 58 plate appearances, but also has a manageable 21 percent strikeout rate.
Aug 8 2020Biggio went 2-for-4 with a walk, a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Red Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Jays manager Charlie Montoyo flipped Biggio and Bo Bichette at the top of the batting order, and the move paid immediate dividends when Biggio led off the game with his third homer of the season. The 25-year-old's patience should make him a good fit in the leadoff spot, but as yet Biggio hasn't really gotten rolling, slashing .200/.265/.400 through 11 games.
Jul 30 2020Biggio went 1-for-5 with a solo home run Thursday against the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio took Javy Guerra deep in the in the seventh inning, pulling an offering just over the right field wall. It was his second home run of the season, but first since Opening Day. Biggio has struggled to get going to this point in the campaign, reaching base just eight times in first 32 plate appearances.
Jul 24 2020Biggio went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run, two runs and three strikeouts in Friday's win against the Rays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After generating some production in summer camp, Biggio translated his results to regular season action. He put the Blue Jays ahead with a three-run home run in the fifth inning that forced Rays starter Charlie Morton out of the game. The 25-year-old hit .234/.364/.429 with 16 home runs, 48 RBI and 14 stolen bases over 100 games in his rookie season with the Blue Jays last season.
Jul 16 2020Biggio launched a two-run home run off reliever Justin Miller during Wednesday's intrasquad game, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio didn't hit a home run in his 12 games during spring training, so it had to feel good for him to leave the yard before the regular season gets underway next week. The 25-year-old demonstrated a patient eye at the plate as a rookie (16.7 percent walk rate), which should lock him into a premium spot in the lineup throughout the season. While his plate discipline stands out as his top skill, Biggio showcased a fantasy-friendly blend of power and speed in 2019, slugging 16 home runs and adding 14 steals in only 429 plate appearances. Even in a 60-game season, Biggio should have an outside shot at reaching double figures in both categories again if he stays healthy.
Mar 1 2020Biggio got the start in center field during Saturday's Grapefruit League game, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: While the 24-year-old is still locked in as the Jays' starting second baseman, Biggio could find himself seeing occasional action in center or at first base depending on who else is resting or slotted in at DH during any particular game. While this might eventually result in extra position eligibility down the road in fantasy leagues with lower qualification thresholds, the most important takeaway is that manager Charlie Montoya sees Biggio as a player he needs to keep in the lineup as much as possible.
Feb 16 2020Blue Jays manager Charlie Montoyo said Sunday that he envisions Biggio serving as the team's No. 2 hitter this season, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The lefty-hitting Biggio could eventually move down in the order against southpaws, but he'll likely be given a full-time look out of the two hole at least to begin the season after he slashed a credible .237/.368/.373 (104 wRC+) in 145 plate appearances versus same-handed pitching in 2019. Biggio supplied 16 home runs and 14 steals in just 100 games with Toronto as a rookie and could push for a 20-20 season if he gets 600 plate appearances in 2020.
Sep 24 2019Biggio went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, three walks and an additional run Monday in the Blue Jays' 11-10 win over the Orioles in 15 innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The rookie extended his hitting streak to a career-best seven games, lifting his season average from .221 to .237 during that stretch. Biggio's 28.4 percent strikeout rate will make it difficult for him to uphold a useful batting average, but his blend of power and speed and willingness to work pitch counts and take walks make him an ideal fit near the top of the Toronto lineup.
Sep 17 2019Biggio went 4-for-5, hitting for the cycle, with four RBI, three runs and two steals in an 8-5 victory against the Orioles on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: What an incredible game from Biggio. It was his fourth multi-hit performance in his last five games, but he also went deep and swiped two bases. This was also his first game with multiple RBI since Aug. 31. Biggio is now batting .230 with 14 home runs, 42 RBI, 58 runs and 13 steals in 313 at-bats this season.
Sep 14 2019Biggio is not in Saturday's lineup against the Yankees, Mike Wilner of Sportsnet 590 The Fan reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He is hitting .290/.450/.516 with one home run and two steals in nine games this month. Brandon Drury gets the start at second base and will hit seventh.
Sep 8 2019Biggio is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio will hit the bench for the second time in the series as he is 1-for-16 with nine strikeouts in his last five games. Richard Urena receives the start at the keystone and will bat ninth in his stead.
Sep 6 2019Biggio is not in the lineup for Friday's game at Tampa Bay. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Biggio will take a seat after starting the last 13 games and posting a .209/.382/.419 slash line in that stretch. Brandon Drury is will start at the keystone in his place Friday.
Aug 31 2019Biggio went 2-for-3 with a double, home run, three RBI, two runs and a walk during a 6-4 victory against the Astros on Saturday.

Jul 16 2018Biggio went 1-for-3 with a walk and an RBI for Double-A New Hampshire in its 3-1 win over Portland on Sunday.Biggio is hitting just .200 over his last 13 games, but he has made himself a tough out by walking in more than a quarter of his plate appearances over that span. The second baseman's impressive power production this season -- 19 home runs and 37 extra-base hits in 86 games -- has enhanced his appeal in dynasty leagues, but it's Biggio's patient approach at the plate that could be the key to eventual success in the big leagues. He has posted walk rates above 10 percent at each stop of the minors, highlighted by a 19 percent mark at Double-A.
