TORONTO — Second baseman Andrés Giménez was placed on the Toronto Blue Jays' 10-day injured list on Sunday with a left ankle sprain.

The move was made retroactive to Saturday.

Right-handed pitcher Ryan Burr was reinstated from Toronto's 60-day injured list as his right shoulder inflammation had healed and was active for the Blue Jays matinee against the Los Angeles Angels.

Gimenez, a defensive specialist, is hitting .218 with five home runs, 23 runs batted in and 10 stolen bases so far this season.

It's his second stint on the IL after missing time with a right quad strain.

Burr hasn't played in 2025, but he had an 0-2 record with a 4.13 earned-run average with 47 strikeouts over 32 2/3 innings last season.

In corresponding moves, outfielder Joey Loperfido was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo and was also available to play against L.A.

Right-handed reliever Lazaro Estrada was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo and outfielder Will Robertson was designated for assignment.

Estrada made his Major League Baseball debut in Saturday's 4-3 extra innings win over the Angels, striking out four and allowing a run over four innings of relief.
