Andrés Giménez DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Andres Gimenez went 2-for-2 with a double, a homer, a walk, three runs, one RBI, and a steal in a 5-2 win over the Washington Nationals on Monday. Gimenez is off to a red-hot start in 2025 as he has swatted three homers in 18 at-bats after notching just nine home runs for the Cleveland Guardians in 2024. Gimenez is unlikely to keep up with the power hitting as the season goes on, although he stole 60 bases over his previous two seasons. He should remain locked into fantasy lineups while he's swinging the bat well.

Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Andres Gimenez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk during their loss to the Baltimore Orioles on Saturday afternoon. Gimenez went deep in the bottom of the third off Baltimore right-hander Dean Kremer. His two-run shot scored shortstop Bo Bichette. After going deep just nine times last season, Gimenez is off to a hot start in Toronto, launching two long balls in his first three contests. During this hot start, he has gone 3-for-12 at the plate with four RBI and a 2:3 BB:K. Gimenez has been batting cleanup during the first series, which has provided him with ample RBI opportunities. Fantasy managers should continue monitoring his production as he could eventually become a must-start option. On Sunday, he will face Tomoyuki Sugano in his MLB debut.

Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Andres Gimenez is starting at second base and batting cleanup in his debut with the Blue Jays on Opening Day on Thursday against the division-rival Baltimore Orioles and right-hander Zach Eflin at Rogers Centre. Gimenez has only five career at-bats against Eflin, but he did take him deep one time for a solo shot. It remains to be seen how often the 26-year-old will be hitting cleanup for Toronto, but it's a spot that will surely give him more run-producing upside in fantasy while hitting behind Bo Bichette, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Anthony Santander. The Venezuelan infielder had a nice spring with a .283/.377/.543 slash line, .921 OPS, two homers, two doubles, two triples, 11 RBI, two stolen bases and seven runs scored in 18 Grapefruit League games. Gimenez should be in all fantasy lineups on Opening Day where he's rostered.
