Homers in loss
Gimenez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 5-4 extra-inning loss to the White Sox.
Analysis
Gimenez tied the game in the eighth inning with a two-run blast off Jordan Leasure. He is now 9-for-26 with three extra-base hits, seven RBI and two steals to open the season. While the 27-year-old has mostly struggled since his All-Star 2022 campaign, early signs suggest he should improve on his lowly .210/.285/.313 regular-season slash from his first year with the Blue Jays in 2025.

Pops first homer of 2026
Gimenez went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Monday's loss to the Rockies.
Analysis
The infielder took Chase Dollander deep in the eighth inning for his first homer of the season. Gimenez has had a hot start to the year at the plate, going 7-for-14 in four games with a triple, a home run, a stolen base, five RBI and a 2:1 BB:K.

Stays hot in Saturday's win
Gimenez went 4-for-5 with an RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's extra-innings win over the A's.
Analysis
The 27-year-old has come flying out of the gate this season, going 6-for-8 in two games with a triple, a steal and four RBI. Gimenez is shifting over to shortstop on a full-time basis this season after mainly playing second base during his big-league career so far -- the last time he saw more action at the six was in 2021 with Cleveland. Gimenez won't stay that hot at the plate for long, but he should have no trouble improving on last year's .598 OPS if he stays healthy.
