The Toronto Blue Jays placed second baseman Andres Gimenez on the 10-day injured list on Sunday because of a left ankle sprain.

The move, retroactive to Saturday, was one of several transactions for the team. Toronto recalled outfielder Joey Loperfido from Triple-A Buffalo, optioned right-hander Lazaro Estrada to Buffalo, activated right-hander Ryan Burr from the 60-day injured list and designated rookie outfielder Will Robertson for assignment.

Gimenez, 26, last played on Friday and tweaked his ankle again while running the bases during a 4-3 win in 10 innings over the visiting Los Angeles Angels. He also experienced discomfort during a three-hit performace against the New York Yankees on Wednesday, with the Blue Jays sitting him in that series finale before he attempted a return Friday that was cut short.

Toronto has won seven straight despite his unavailability.

An All-Star while with the Cleveland Guardians in 2022, Gimenez is batting .218 with five home runs and 23 RBIs in 61 games in his first season with Toronto. He also was on the IL and out 24 games with a quad strain from May 7 to June 3.

Gimenez is a career .257 hitter with 54 homers and 245 RBIs in 629 regular-season games for the New York Mets (2020), Cleveland (2021-24) and Toronto.

Burr, 31, has not pitched this season after going on the 60-day injured list in March because of right shoulder inflammation. He threw one scoreless inning on Wednesday in Triple A.

For his career, Burr is 4-5 with a 4.10 ERA, 51 walks and 113 strikeouts in 107 2/3 innings over 100 games (six starts) for the Chicago White Sox (2018-19, 2021-22) and Blue Jays (2024).

Loperfido, 26, has not played in the major leagues this season. He played in a total of 81 games for the Houston Astros and the Blue Jays in 2024 and batted .214 with four homers and 25 RBIs. He batted .278 with six homers and 39 RBIs in 76 games for Buffalo this season.

Estrada, 26, allowed two hits and one run in four innings for a 2.25 ERA, along with four strikeouts in his major league debut on Saturday against the Angels. He was 2-4 with a 4.27 ERA, 21 walks and 66 strikeouts in 60 2/3 innings over 15 starts at Buffalo this season.

Robertson, 27, made his major league debut on June 15 and batted .100 (1-for-10) with one RBI in three games.
