Pops 15th homer
Gimenez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 11-7 loss to the Reds.
ANALYSIS
Gimenez has homered twice in his last three games, and he's batting a strong .395 (17-for-43) over his last 11 contests. His long ball Tuesday gave him 15 on the year, though he'd have to stay hot to match his career high of 17 from last season.

Sep 24, 2023
Collects team's lone hit Saturday
Gimenez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a loss to the Orioles on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Gimenez's seventh inning solo homer was the only thing that prevented an Orioles shutout and no-hitter on a day when Cleveland's other hitters were held entirely in check. The long ball extended the infielder's hitting streak to seven games, during which he's gone 13-for-28 (.464) with seven RBI and two steals. Gimenez is slashing a modest .253/.317/.399 on the campaign but has maintained fantasy relevance with 14 home runs, 61 RBI, 73 runs and 30 stolen bases.
Sep 20, 2023
Collects steal No. 30
Gimenez went 2-for-5 with a triple, a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 7-6 loss to the Royals.
ANALYSIS
His sixth-inning pilfer gave Gimenez an even 30 for the season, further padding his career high. The 25-year-old is having an impressive September, reeling off multiple hits in three straight games and six of the last nine to boost his slash line on the month to .354/.408/.477 with a homer, eight steals, nine RBI and 10 runs in 17 contests.
Sep 19, 2023
Impresses again Monday
Gimenez went 3-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Monday's 6-4 loss to the Royals.
ANALYSIS
Gimenez has multiple hits in five of his last eight games, and he's batting .350 (21-for-60) in September. The steal was his seventh of the month, giving him 29 thefts on 33 attempts this season. The second baseman's strong hitting has him up to a .248/.315/.388 slash line with 13 home runs, 57 RBI and 69 runs scored through 144 contests. While it's nowhere near his .297/.371/.466 slash line from 2022, Gimenez has shown off his skills late in the campaign.
Sep 17, 2023
Brings home three runs
Gimenez went 2-for-4 with a double, three RBI and a run scored in Sunday's win over the Rangers.
ANALYSIS

Sep 15, 2023
Homers, drives in three
Gimenez went 2-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 12-3 victory over the Rangers.
ANALYSIS
Gimenez opened the scoring for the Guardians with a two-run blast in the second, then later added an RBI single. The homer was his first since Aug. 25 while the three RBI marked a season high. Gimenez is now slashing .244/.313/.385 with 13 home runs, 54 RBI, 67 runs and 28 stolen bases in 509 at-bats over 141 games.
Sep 14, 2023
Keeps running Wednesday
Gimenez went 1-for-5 with a stolen base and a run scored in Wednesday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Giants.
ANALYSIS
Gimenez has quietly had a strong September, batting .318 (14-for-44) with six stolen bases over 12 contests. The second baseman's power has been largely absent this month -- he has just two extra-base hits, both doubles. For the season, he's at a .242/.310/.378 slash line with 28 thefts, 12 home runs, 51 RBI and 65 runs scored over 140 contests in a near-everyday role.
Sep 12, 2023
Resting against lefty
Gimenez isn't in the Guardians' lineup Tuesday against San Francisco.
ANALYSIS
The lefty-hitting Gimenez will take a seat Tuesday as fellow lefty Sean Manaea starts on the mound for the Giants. Tyler Freeman will start at the keystone and bat sixth in Gimenez's place.
Sep 12, 2023
Earns 27th steal
Gimenez went 2-for-5 with one RBI and a stolen base in Monday's 5-4 extra-inning loss to the Giants.
ANALYSIS
Gimenez has gone 10-for-24 (.417) with three steals across his last six games. The second baseman supplied a go-ahead RBI single in the 10th inning Monday, but the Giants answered with two runs in their half of the frame. Gimenez has had an uneven year at the plate, batting .242 with a .692 OPS, but his strong hitting in September is a good sign. He's added 12 home runs, 51 RBI, 64 runs scored, 27 steals, 25 doubles and four triples through 138 contests overall.
Sep 7, 2023
Doubles, swipes bag in win
Gimenez went 2-for-3 with a double, two runs scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's win over the Twins.
ANALYSIS
Gimenez hit a ground rule double to lead off the bottom of the second before coming around to score Cleveland's first run on a Will Brennan single. The second baseman would come around to score a second time in the fourth after stealing second and has now swiped a bag in three of five games to open the month. Gimenez has also recorded two hits in two of his last three games and is currently batting .294 in September with one RBI and four runs scored.
Sep 3, 2023
Not in Sunday's lineup
Gimenez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay.
ANALYSIS

Sep 2, 2023
Registers steal in win
Gimenez went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 3-2 win over the Rays.
ANALYSIS
Gimenez has faltered at the plate bit a lately, going 4-for-36 (.111) over his last nine games, though he has managed two steals in that span. The second baseman's slump has him down to a .234/.302/.378 slash line for the year. He's added 23 steals, 12 home runs, 49 RBI and 61 runs scored over 129 contests. While he's struggling, it hasn't cost him the lion's share of playing time at the keystone.
Aug 26, 2023
Lifts 12th homer
Gimenez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jays.
ANALYSIS
Gimenez has hit a rough patch, going 5-for-29 over his last nine games. His homer Friday was his first extra-base hit in that span. The second baseman remains in the lineup on a regular basis, slashing .241/.311/.390 with 12 homers, 21 stolen bases, 46 RBI and 57 runs scored through 123 contests overall. The Guardians aren't short on infield options, which has resulted in Gimenez occasionally sitting versus southpaws in recent weeks.
Aug 23, 2023
Sitting versus lefty
Gimenez is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Dodgers.
ANALYSIS
Southpaw Clayton Kershaw is toeing the slab for the Dodgers, so it's not a bad time for a day off for the left-handed hitting Gimenez. Tyler Freeman will pick up a start at second base.
Aug 23, 2023
Posts steal in win
Gimenez went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and two runs scored in Tuesday's 8-3 win over the Dodgers.
ANALYSIS
Over his last nine games, Gimenez has five multi-hit efforts and four 0-fers, resulting in a .364 batting average over that span. He's also collected a pair of steals but just three RBI in that sample. The second baseman is slashing .245/.315/.389 with 21 thefts, 11 home runs, 45 RBI and 56 runs scored over 120 contests this season. His playing time remains secure despite his overall struggles with getting on base consistently.
Aug 16, 2023
Gets breather Wednesday
Gimenez is absent from the lineup Wednesday versus the Reds.
ANALYSIS
Tyler Freeman is covering second base and batting sixth. This looks to be a routine day off for Gimenez, who went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Tuesday's series opener at Cincinnati. He's sitting on 11 homers and 20 steals through 115 games.
Aug 14, 2023
Big day at the plate
Gimenez went 4-for-5 with a home run, two RBI, two runs scored and one steal in Sunday's 9-2 win over the Rays.
ANALYSIS
Gimenez did it all for the Guardians, displaying his power with a first inning home run, the showing off the speed with two infield singles and a stolen base. It was the third straight multi-hit effort for Gimenez, who is finally starting to heat up at the dish. Thus far in August, Gimenez is hitting .349 with two home runs, five doubles and three steals in 12 games.
Aug 11, 2023
Notches steal Thursday
Gimenez went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk and a stolen base in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Blue Jays.
ANALYSIS
Gimenez is hitting .250 with a home run and two steals over nine games in August. The second baseman is up to 19 thefts this season, one shy of matching his career high from last year. He's also slashing a middling .235/.310/.381 with 10 homers, 42 RBI, 50 runs scored, 20 doubles and four triples over 111 contests this season. On the bright side, he's regularly hit second since Amed Rosario was dealt to the Dodgers.
Aug 4, 2023
Homers in win
Gimenez went 3-for-4 with a homer, two doubles, two runs scored and two RBI in Friday's win over the White Sox.
ANALYSIS
Gimenez put the Guardians on top with his two-run shot in the fifth inning. It was his 10th long ball of the year and first since July 24. Gimenez has gone 14-for-71 (.197) in 19 games since the All-Star break, dropping his season slash line to .239/.309/.387 through 421 plate appearances.
Aug 1, 2023
Sitting against Framber Valdez
Gimenez is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Astros.
ANALYSIS
The Guardians are facing a tough lefty (Framber Valdez) on Tuesday, so Cleveland manager Terry Francona likely viewed the game as an optimal time to give the lefty-hitting Gimenez just his second day off since the All-Star break. Tyler Freeman will spell Gimenez at second base and bat second.
Jul 28, 2023
Two hits, steal in win
Gimenez went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base in Thursday's 6-3 win over the White Sox.
ANALYSIS
It's the first multi-hit game for Gimenez since July 18 -- he'd gone just 4-for-26 (.154) in seven games prior to Thursday's contest. He opened the scoring against the White Sox with an RBI double in the first inning before adding a stolen base in the seventh, improving to 17-for-20 in steal attempts this year. While Gimenez has remained productive on the base paths, he's had a fairly disappointing season at the plate after a breakout 2022 campaign. He's now slashing .244/.315/.389 with nine homers, 46 runs scored and 39 RBI across 394 plate appearances this season.
Jul 27, 2023
Nabs steal in win
Gimenez went 0-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Wednesday's 8-3 win over the Royals.
ANALYSIS
Gimenez hit second in this contest, and he could have a chance to get more time in that spot following the trade that sent Amed Rosario to the Dodgers. It's been a productive July for Gimenez on the basepaths, as he's logged eight of his 16 steals over his last 20 contests despite slashing .240/.321/.453 for the month. Aside from an uptick in power, that's not all that different from his .241/.311/.385 slash line for the year, so he may need to be more consistent to stay in the No. 2 spot.
Jul 24, 2023
Pops solo shot
Gimenez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 8-5 extra-inning loss to the Phillies.
ANALYSIS
Gimenez took Aaron Nola deep in the second inning. While Gimenez has hit two homers over eight games since the All-Star break, he's batting just .200 (6-for-30) in that span. The second baseman has warmed up over the last couple of months, but he's still at a .244/.314/.390 slash line over 94 contests this season. He's added nine homers, 15 stolen bases, 38 RBI and 43 runs scored.
Jul 18, 2023
Blasts homer Monday
Gimenez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk in Monday's 11-0 win over the Pirates.
ANALYSIS
Gimenez capped off the Guardians' four-run sixth inning with his homer. The second baseman has knocked three of his eight homers this season in July, batting .250 with eight RBI over 12 contests this month. He's at a .243/.316/.388 slash line with 36 RBI, 41 runs scored, 15 stolen bases, 14 doubles and four triples through 89 games overall.
Jul 15, 2023
Not in Saturday's lineup
Gimenez will be on the bench for Saturday's game against the Rangers, Andre Knott of Bally Sports Ohio reports.
ANALYSIS
Gimenez will sit with lefty Andrew Heaney on the hill for Texas. Gimenez started against all but four southpaws in the first half and has actually fared much better against lefties (.802 OPS) than against righties (.663) this season, so his off day Saturday probably isn't a sign that he's about to slip into a platoon role. Tyler Freeman will take over at the keystone.
Jul 9, 2023
Nabs 15th steal
Gimenez went 0-for-5 with an RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 10-6 win over the Royals.
ANALYSIS
Gimenez has seemingly made a larger commitment to run with seven steals through eight games in July. His theft Saturday salvaged an otherwise unimpressive showing, though he's hit safely in six of his games this month. He's at a .245/.318/.384 slash line through 85 contests, and he now has 15 steals on 18 attempts this season.
Jul 7, 2023
Shines offensively in win
Gimenez went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk, three total runs and three stolen bases Thursday in a 6-1 win against the Royals.
ANALYSIS
Gimenez put the Guardians on the board with a solo shot to right field in the second inning and didn't slow down from there. The second baseman walked, swiped two bags and scored in the sixth and crossed the plate again following a single and another steal in the eighth. Gimenez has picked up the pace on the basepaths of late, notching six thefts in six attempts over his past six games. He's added a .381/.519/.762 slash line, two home runs, four RBI and seven runs during that stretch.
Jul 4, 2023
Notches 11th steal
Gimenez went 1-for-4 with a walk and a stolen base in Tuesday's 6-5 extra-inning win over Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Gimenez has kept his bat hot into July, going 5-for-15 (.333) while racking up three steals over his last four games. The second baseman also hit safely in 10 of the last 13 games in June. He's up to a .247/.316/.382 slash line with six home runs, 11 thefts, 31 RBI and 37 runs scored through 81 contests. He's hit fifth in consecutive contests with Josh Naylor (wrist) out of the lineup, though Gimenez has most frequently batted sixth when the Guardians' lineup is fully healthy.
Jul 3, 2023
Major offensive impact in win
Gimenez went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer, a double, a steal and three runs scored in Sunday's win over the Cubs.
ANALYSIS
Gimenez reached three times after he was hit by a pitch to lead off the game and also swiped second in the frame. He eventually opened up the scoring with a two-run blast off Jameson Taillon in the third and wound up scoring the winning run as the ghost runner in extra innings. The long ball was his first since June 17 and just his second extra-base hit over his last 11 games. Gimenez has been heating up at the plate, however, with multiple hits in three of his last seven games. He's now slashing .246/.315/.382 with six homers, 31 RBI, 37 runs and a 16:52 BB:K in 313 plate appearances.
Jul 2, 2023
Solid in Saturday's win
Gimenez went 1-for-3 with one RBI, a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Cubs.
ANALYSIS
Gimenez has made a slight improvement lately, going 14-for-54 (.259) over his last 14 games to raise his season batting average to .243. He's added 10 RBI and two stolen bases in that span. The second baseman remains a near-everyday presence in the Guardians' lineup, though his .676 OPS is a steep decline from the .837 mark he posted last year. Gimenez has added nine steals, five home runs, 29 RBI and 34 runs this season.
Jun 22, 2023
Records steal
Gimenez went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Athletics.
ANALYSIS
This was Gimenez's first successful steal since May 17 -- he was caught stealing twice over his last 30 games. The second baseman has steadied himself, going 7-for-27 (.259) over his last seven contests. He's had trouble with consistency this year, and he's now at a .241/.305/.369 slash line with five home runs, 26 RBI, 31 runs scored and eight thefts over 71 games. Despite the uninspiring batting numbers, he's maintained a near-everyday role.
Jun 18, 2023
Strong in Saturday's loss
Gimenez went 1-for-3 with a home run, a walk and two total RBI in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Diamondbacks.
ANALYSIS
Gimenez provided the Guardians' first two run scoring plays before Arizona's offense took over. The second baseman has hit safely in three straight games for the first time since May 30-June 1. He's at a .244/.307/.372 slash line with five homers, 22 RBI, 29 runs scored and seven stolen bases through 67 contests. Like many of his teammates, Gimenez has struggled to hit consistently, putting him noticeably behind his pace from 2022.
Jun 15, 2023
Hitless in return
Gimenez went 0-for-2 with a walk in Wednesday's 5-0 loss to the Padres.
ANALYSIS
Gimenez missed a game while dealing with left leg tightness, and he struggled to make an impact here. The second baseman has had an inconsistent June, going 8-for-36 (.222) with a home run, seven RBI and four walks over 12 contests. He should be able to resume his near-everyday role following the brief absence, and he'll look to build on a .239/.303/.360 slash line through 64 games.
Jun 14, 2023
Returns to lineup
Gimenez (leg) will play second base and bat sixth in his return to action Wednesday in San Diego, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Gimenez had to be removed from Sunday's game against the Astros due to left leg tightness and didn't play Tuesday following the off day Monday. However, he's feeling well enough to give it a go in this one. Gimenez and his teammates will be going up against Aaron Civale.
Jun 13, 2023
Remains out Tuesday
Gimenez (leg) isn't starting Tuesday against the Padres.
ANALYSIS
Gimenez was removed from Sunday's contest due to left leg tightness, and the issue is apparently still severe enough to hold him out of Tuesday's game. Tyler Freeman will take Gimenez's spot at second base and bat sixth.
Jun 11, 2023
Exits Sunday with leg injury
Gimenez was removed from Sunday's game against the Astros after five innings due to left leg tightness, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Tyler Freeman came off the bench in the top of the sixth to replace Gimenez, who went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run -- his fourth of the season -- prior to departing. The initial diagnosis doesn't sound overly serious, but fantasy managers will still want to keep tabs on the second baseman's status heading into the Guardians' upcoming three-game series in San Diego. The Guardians are off Monday before heading to the West Coast on Tuesday.
Jun 10, 2023
Sitting Saturday
Gimenez will be on the bench for Saturday's game against the Astros, Andre Knott of Bally Sports Ohio reports.
ANALYSIS
Gimenez has shown more life at the plate recently, hitting .333/.372/.487 over his last 10 games, though that's only been enough to raise his OPS to .656. He'll rest Saturday with Tyler Freeman starting at second base.
Jun 4, 2023
Gets on base four times
Gimenez went 3-for-4 with a double, a walk and a run scored in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Twins.
ANALYSIS
Gimenez has racked up three multi-hit efforts in his last five games. More notably, he drew a walk for the first time since May 17. The second baseman has struggled to hit consistently this year, batting .247, and he hasn't supplemented it much by getting on base at a modest .310 clip with a 4.1 percent walk rate. Gimenez has added seven stolen bases, three home runs, 13 RBI and 25 runs scored through 55 contests.
Jun 1, 2023
Four hits in Wednesday's win
Gimenez went 4-for-5 with two RBI in Wednesday's 12-8 win over the Orioles.
ANALYSIS
Gimenez has four multi-hit efforts and four 0-fers in his last eight games, going 10-for-28 (.357) with one double and three RBI in that span. It's a significant improvement for him recently, as he hit just .230 with three extra-base hits over 25 contests in all of May. The second baseman remains a near-everyday player despite a lackluster .242/.305/.344 slash line through 204 plate appearances this season.
May 28, 2023
Gets Sunday off
Gimenez is out of the starting lineup against the Cardinals on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Gimenez will take a seat for the first time since the first game of the doubleheader against the Mets on Sunday. The infielder will get a rest with Tyler Freeman getting the start at second base and hitting sixth against Jordan Montgomery and the Cardinals

Posts three-hit effort
Gimenez went 3-for-4 with a triple in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Angels.
ANALYSIS
Gimenez entered Friday with just two hits and no walks over eight games in May. It's been a tough slump for the second baseman but not one that's led to much of a reduction in playing time, as he's sat out just once this month. For the season, he's slashing .231/.301/.346 with two home runs, six stolen bases, eight RBI and 21 runs scored through 36 contests. The triple was his first of the year and the sixth of his career.

Registers sixth steal

ANALYSIS
Gimenez has logged three steals over his last six games despite going 4-for-20 (.200) with two walks and a hit-by-pitch in that span. The second baseman hasn't show hesitation on the basepths with six thefts through 19 contests, and he's yet to be caught stealing this season. He's also slashing a solid .278/.350/.389 with a home run, five RBI, 18 runs scored and five doubles over 81 plate appearances. The one knock on Gimenez from a fantasy perspective is that he has often been batting in the bottom half of the order, though he hit second Wednesday with Amed Rosario (back) out.

Gimenez went 2-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and two runs scored in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Nationals.

He's added a solid .291/.361/.436 slash line with a home run, five RBI and 15 runs scored. He's moved around the lineup a bit against right-handed pitchers, hitting fifth in four of nine such games.

Swipes bag Monday
Gimenez went 0-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Monday's 3-2 win over the Yankees.

Goes deep Saturday
Gimenez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in a 2-0 victory versus the Mariners on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
There was little offense to be had in Saturday's pitching duel, so Gimenez's seventh-inning solo shot proved to be a valuable late-game insurance run. The long ball was the infielder's first of the campaign following last season's 17-homer performance. Gimenez has gone 3-for-10 through his first three contests in 2023.
Apr 1, 2023
First steal of 2023
Gimenez went 2-for-4 with a walk, three runs scored and a stolen base in Friday's 9-4 win over the Mariners.
ANALYSIS
The second baseman's first pilfer of the season came on the front half of a double-steal with Myles Straw in the fourth inning, setting up Steven Kwan for a two-run double that put Cleveland in the lead for good. The Guardians went 3-for-3 on the basepaths in total against Cal Raleigh and Mariners pitching, and given their speed up and down the lineup, they could be one of the clubs that benefits most from MLB's rule changes to boost the running game. Gimenez stole 20 bases in 2022, but his 94th percentile sprint speed last year per Statcast suggests he could top that total easily if given the chance.

Aug 24, 2022
Resting against lefty
Gimenez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres.
ANALYSIS
The Guardians and Padres are playing a day game after a night game and San Diego is starting southpaw Blake Snell, so Cleveland manager Terry Francona likely viewed Wednesday as an opportune time to give the lefty-hitting Gimenez a breather.

He's still maintained an excellent .296/.360/.479 slash line with 11 home runs, eight steals, 45 RBI, 36 runs scored, 14 doubles and two triples through 87 contests.

The 23-year-old was named the starting second baseman for the National League All-Star team earlier Saturday, and he went 0-for-2 with a run and a strikeout to begin Saturday's game. It's not yet clear whether his foot issue will impact his availability for Sunday's series finale against Detroit or the All-Star Game.

Smacks 10th homer
Gimenez went 2-for-3 with a home run, a double, two RBI and a walk in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Tigers.
ANALYSIS
Gimenez accounted for half of the Guardians' run production. He hit an RBI double in the third inning and a solo shot in the eighth. The second baseman was in a bit of a slump entering Thursday, going 1-for-12 in his previous five games, which has seen him lose some playing time to Owen Miller. Gimenez is up to 10 homers, seven stolen bases, 42 RBI, 31 runs scored and a .294/.354/.480 slash line in 77 contests. At a minimum, he should play regularly versus right-handed pitchers.

Jul 10, 2022
Three hits, two RBI in rout
Gimenez went 3-for-6 with two RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 13-1 win over the Royals.
ANALYSIS
Gimenez was one of two Guardians in the starting nine to fail to record an extra-base hit, as all three of his knocks were singles. It was still an encouraging performance -- he had gone 5-for-32 (.156) in 11 contests since his last multi-hit effort. The second baseman's slump briefly dipped his batting average under .300, but he's back to that mark with an .836 OPS, nine home runs, 40 RBI, 28 runs scored and six stolen bases through 259 plate appearances this year. He should continue to see a majority of the playing time at the keystone.

Jun 22, 2022
Steals fifth base
Gimenez went 2-for-5 with a stolen base in a 6-5 win over the Twins on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Gimenez has quietly been putting together a quality campaign in Cleveland this year. His two-hit game to lifted his average to .305 and the stolen base gives him five on the season. Gimenez stole eleven bases over 188 at-bats in 2021 without being caught stealing, so he has the potential to find another gear and pick up his stolen base pace. His sprint speed is currently in the 94th percentile according to Baseball Savant.

Gimenez got aboard in the eighth inning on an infield single and then stole second. The speedy infielder has gone five games without a multi-hit effort, but he's still gotten aboard safely in 10 of 13 games in May. He's slashing a strong .323/.340/.552 with four home runs, 20 RBI, 13 runs scored and three stolen bases through 31 contests this season.
May 14, 2022
Goes yard in loss
Gimenez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run, a walk and two total runs scored in Friday's 12-8 loss to the Twins.
ANALYSIS
Gimenez's ninth-inning blast got the Guardians within four runs, but that was as close as it got. He's hit safely in seven of 10 games in May, boosting his slash line to .329/.348/.565 in 89 plate appearances. The shortstop has added four home runs, 19 RBI, 11 runs scored and a pair of stolen bases while earning a starting role in the bottom half of the lineup.
May 10, 2022
Key part of comeback
Gimenez went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an RBI double in Monday's 12-9 extra-innings win over the White Sox.
ANALYSIS
Gimenez sparked the Guardians' six-run ninth inning with a solo shot. In the 10th, he knocked in Ernie Clement with a double, though Emmanuel Clase failed to protect the one-run lead. With multiple hits in four of his last six games, Gimenez continues to impress with the bat. The speedy infielder has a .351/.363/.571 slash line with three homers, 17 RBI, nine runs scored and two stolen bases through 80 plate appearances.
May 8, 2022
Records steal in nightcap
Gimenez went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in an 8-2 win over the Blue Jays in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader.
ANALYSIS
Gimenez sat out the matinee, but manned second base in the nightcap. He's earned a regular role in the lineup as the primary second baseman, posting multiple hits in six of his last nine games. The infielder is slashing .348/.352/.536 with two home runs, 15 RBI, eight runs scored and a pair of stolen bases in 71 plate appearances. He's added two triples and three doubles -- Gimenez is known for his speed more than his power, though his 1.4 percent walk rate is a little concerning.
May 7, 2022
On bench for matinee
Gimenez isn't starting the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Blue Jays.
ANALYSIS
Gimenez will get a breather after he went 4-for-8 with a double, two runs, two RBI and a strikeout over the last two games. Owen Miller will shift to second base while Richie Palacios enters the lineup in left field for Saturday's matinee.
Apr 30, 2022
Launches grand slam
Gimenez went 3-for-4 with a grand slam and a double during Friday's 9-8 victory against the Athletics.
ANALYSIS
Gimenez doubled in the first inning, connected on a grand slam in the third and singled in the seventh in recording his second three-hit game of the season. The 23-year-old holds an impressive .349 average through 43 games this season, though that mark is propped up by an unsustainable .419 BABIP.
Apr 28, 2022
Sits against lefty
Gimenez is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Angels.
ANALYSIS
The lefty-hitting Gimenez will retreat to the bench with southpaw Reid Detmers on the hill for the Angels. Owen Miller will shift over from first base to replace Gimenez at the keystone.
Apr 24, 2022
Triples in loss
Gimenez went 2-for-4 with a triple, two RBI and a strikeout in Sunday's 10-2 loss to the Yankees.
ANALYSIS
Gimenez had a day off against a left-handed pitcher Saturday, but he drove in the Guardians' only two runs while returning to the field in Sunday's series finale. The 23-year-old is now in the midst of a four-game hitting streak in which he's gone 5-for-12 with a triple, three RBI, a run and a stolen base.
Apr 23, 2022
On strong side of platoon
Gimenez is not in Saturday's lineup against the Yankees.
ANALYSIS
The lefty-hitting middle infielder appears to be in a strict platoon, as he has not started against a lefty this season, and that won't change with Nestor Cortes on the hill for New York. Ernie Clement will start at the keystone and bat seventh.
Apr 22, 2022
Registers steal in win
Gimenez went 1-for-2 with a walk, an RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Thursday's 6-3 win over the White Sox.
ANALYSIS
Gimenez posted 19 stolen bases across his first 117 major-league games in the last two years. It's been a slower start this season, as he had to settle for a part-time role at second base out of the gate. The infielder is slashing .318/.333/.545 with a home run, a triple, four RBI, three runs scored and one steal through 24 plate appearances. Gimenez should see regular playing time while Yu Chang and Owen Miller are both on the COVID-19 injured list.
Apr 20, 2022
Sitting out first game Wednesday
Gimenez is out of the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the White Sox, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
With southpaw Dallas Keuchel on the mound for Chicago for the matinee game, the lefty-hitting Gimenez will bow out of the starting nine, as is usually the case when the Guardians face southpaws. The Guardians called up prospect Gabriel Arias from Triple-A Columbus and will install him as the starting second baseman and No. 7 hitter for the front end of the doubleheader in Gimenez's stead. Arias is up with the club as the 29th man for the twin bill, so he's expected to head back to Columbus after Wednesday's games and isn't believed to be a threat to Gimenez's starting role.
Apr 17, 2022
Out of Sunday's lineup
Gimenez is not in the lineup Sunday against San Francisco.
ANALYSIS
Gimenez is working in the strong side of a platoon at second base and will head to the bench Sunday with lefty Alex Wood pitching for the Giants. Owen Miller will man the keystone while Bobby Bradley starts at first base.
Apr 15, 2022
On bench Friday
Gimenez is out of the lineup Friday against the Giants.
ANALYSIS
Gimenez will remain on the bench for a second straight contest after starting three of the previous four. He is 4-for-14 with a home run, a triple and three RBI through six games this season. Owen Miller will man the keystone Friday while Josh Naylor (lower leg), who is fresh off the injured list, will start at first base.
Apr 13, 2022
Takes a seat Wednesday
Gimenez is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Reds.
ANALYSIS
The 23-year-old will get a day off after starting each of the Guardians' last two contests, including a 2-for-4 performance with a triple, a home run and three RBI Tuesday. Ernie Clement will enter the lineup at second base and bat seventh Wednesday against the Reds.
Apr 12, 2022
Triple, homer in win
Gimenez went 2-for-4 with a triple, a home run, two runs scored and three RBI in Tuesday's win over the Reds.
ANALYSIS
Gimenez showed off his speed in the fourth inning with his triple into the right-field corner. He later flashed his power on his go-ahead, two-run shot in the ninth, homer No. 1 of the season for Gimenez. The 23-year-old has started all but one game for Cleveland so far, batting eighth or ninth.
Apr 10, 2022
Out of Sunday's lineup
Gimenez is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.
ANALYSIS
Gimenez started at shortstop and second base in the first two games of the campaign and went 1-for-6 with a strikeout. He'll take a seat Sunday versus lefty Kris Bubic while Amed Rosario and Ernie Clement start in the middle infield.
Mar 31, 2022
Leading candidate for SS job
Gimenez appears to be the leading candidate to win Cleveland's starting shortstop job, but manager Terry Francona said no decision has been made, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
ANALYSIS
Gabriel Arias was sent to the minors and Ahmed Rosario has started in left field the last three spring training games, which points to Gimenez wining the job. Gimenez is helping his case by hitting .438 (7-for-16) this spring. He's also seen as the best defender at shortstop as well. Gimenez had 11 stolen bases last season in 68 games, so he'll add fantasy value with his legs should he win an everyday role.
Oct 2, 2021
Records 11th steal
Gimenez went 1-for-3 with a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 9-6 win over Texas.
ANALYSIS
The infielder has made a strong impression to close out 2021, batting .375 with three home runs, seven RBI, six runs scored and a steal in his last 11 games. Gimenez has been limited to a strong-side platoon role at second base since his call-up in August. He's posted a .220/.282/.357 slash line with five homers, 16 RBI, 23 runs scored and 11 steals in 203 plate appearances. Gimenez could enter 2022 as Cleveland's top option at the keystone, but he'll need to hit better than his .171/.216/.314 slash line this year against southpaws to be a true everyday option.
Sep 30, 2021
Sitting again Thursday
Gimenez is not in Thursday's lineup against the Royals.
ANALYSIS
The second baseman will not start for the second consecutive game. Over his last 10 contests, he has registered at least one hit in eight games while batting .379 with three home runs and seven RBI. Owen Miller starts at second base Thursday and will bat eighth.
Sep 29, 2021
Riding pine Wednesday
Gimenez isn't starting Wednesday's game against Kansas City.
ANALYSIS
Gimenez started each of the last two games and went 3-for-6 with a double and two RBI. Owen Miller will take his place at the keystone and bat seventh.
Sep 26, 2021
Sitting Sunday
Gimenez is not starting Sunday's series finale against the White Sox.
ANALYSIS
The infielder hit a solo home run Saturday. It was his third home run in the last seven games, a span during which he's hit .333 with five RBI. Owen Miller starts at second base and bats seventh.
Sep 24, 2021
Not starting Friday
Gimenez will sit for Friday's game against the White Sox.
ANALYSIS
Gimenez sits for the third time in four games. His previous two absences were easily explained, as he sat against a lefty on Tuesday before sitting for the nightcap of Tuesday's doubleheader. This time around, however, he'll sit for a normal night game against the right-handed Dylan Cease. Amed Rosario completed COVID-19 protocols after his trip to the bereavement list and will start at shortstop, while Owen Miller starts at second base.
Sep 23, 2021
On bench for second game
Gimenez isn't starting the second game of Thursday's doubleheader against the White Sox.
ANALYSIS
Gimenez went 1-for-3 with a pair of strikeouts during the first game in the twin bill, and he'll get a breather for the nightcap. Owen Miller will start at the keystone while Yu Chang takes over at shortstop.
Sep 21, 2021
Absent from Tuesday's lineup
Gimenez is not starting Tuesday against the Royals.
ANALYSIS
He'll get his first rest since Sept. 14 after going a combined 1-for-5 with a solo homer during Monday's twin bill. Ernie Clement starts at second base with Yu Chang slotting in at shortstop Tuesday.
Sep 21, 2021
Pops fourth homer
Gimenez went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in the second game of Monday's doubleheader against the Royals.
ANALYSIS
After going 0-for-3 during the matinee, Gimenez got Cleveland on the board in the nightcap by taking Joel Payamps deep in the third inning. The 23-year-old only has four homers in 22 big-league games on the year, but two of them have come in the last four contests. Since being recalled in August, Gimenez is slashing a tepid .225/.307/.348 with six steals, eight RBI and 10 runs in 31 games.
Sep 19, 2021
Cracks three-run homer
Gimenez went 2-for-5 with a three-run homer Saturday against the Yankees.
ANALYSIS
Gimenez put the finishing touches on a seven-run inning for Cleveland, taking New York reliever Albert Abreu deep to right-center field to make it an 8-0 game. Gimenez is 3-for-7 over the last two games after enduring a 0-for-15 stretch in his previous five.
Sep 14, 2021
Not in lineup for game two
Gimenez is not in the lineup for game two of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Twins.
ANALYSIS
The infielder went 0-for-2 in game one, lowering his batting average to .190 on the season. Owen Miller replaces him at second base and will bat seventh Tuesday night.
Sep 12, 2021
Not in Sunday's lineup
Gimenez is on the bench for Sunday's game against the Brewers.
ANALYSIS
Gimenez gets the afternoon off after going 7-for-32 with three doubles and two RBI in his last 10 games. Owen Miller is playing second base and batting seventh Sunday.
Sep 9, 2021
Riding pine Thursday
Gimenez isn't starting Thursday's game against Minnesota.
ANALYSIS
Gimenez went just 1-for-8 with four strikeouts across the last two games, and he'll head to the bench for the second time in the last four contests. Owen Miller will start at the keystone and bat seventh.
Sep 6, 2021
Takes seat Monday
Gimenez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Twins.
ANALYSIS
After going 4-for-11 with a double and three stolen bases while starting in all three of Cleveland's games during its weekend series with the Red Sox, Gimenez will get a breather as the team kicks off a seven-game week. Owen Miller checks in at the keystone for Gimenez, who is hitting .245 with zero home runs, five runs, four RBI and six steals in 20 games since his Aug. 7 call-up from Triple-A Columbus.
Sep 5, 2021
Steals in three straight games
Gimenez went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 11-5 win over Boston.
ANALYSIS
The 23-year-old has recorded a stolen base in each of the last three games, and he's up to 10 for the year. Gimenez has also hit safely in eight of his last 10 contests dating back to Aug. 20, going 9-for-29 (.310) in that span. He's starting to find more success, but his season slash line is still at .206/.279/.313 through 148 plate appearances. The infielder has seen regular playing time lately, but he hasn't often hit above ninth in the order.
Sep 5, 2021
Adds another steal
Gimenez went 1-for-3 with a double and a stolen base in Saturday's 4-3 loss to Boston.
ANALYSIS
The speedy infielder has recorded three steals in his last six games. Gimenez stole third base in Saturday's contest after his lone hit, a sixth-inning double. He's seeing the better part of a timeshare with Owen Miller at second base, although it's not quite a true platoon situation. Gimenez has a .197/.273/.299 slash line with two home runs, nine steals, seven RBI and 14 runs scored in 144 plate appearances.
Sep 3, 2021
Swipes bag in loss
Gimenez went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 8-5 loss to Boston.
ANALYSIS
The infielder recorded his first multi-hit effort in 18 games since he was recalled from Triple-A Columbus on Aug. 7. Gimenez has notched four steals in that span, but he's just 10-for-46 (.217) at the plate. He's added two home runs, seven RBI, eight stolen bases and 14 runs scored through 141 plate appearances overall.
Sep 2, 2021
Out of Thursday's lineup
Gimenez is not in the lineup Thursday against the Royals.
ANALYSIS
Gimenez has a .565 OPS in 17 games since being promoted in early August and will head to the bench for the second time in the past three days. Owen Miller will man the keystone Thursday for Cleveland.
Aug 31, 2021
On bench Tuesday
Gimenez is not starting Tuesday's game against the Royals.
ANALYSIS
Gimenez has hit .259 with a pair of doubles in his last 10 games. Owen Miller will play second base and bat seventh Tuesday.
Aug 28, 2021
Steals base as pinch runner
Gimenez stole a base after pinch running for Franmil Reyes during Friday's 4-3 loss to Boston.
ANALYSIS
Gimenez picked up his seventh theft of the year to get into scoring position in the the ninth inning. Boston reliever Adam Ottavino retired Wilson Ramos, Bradley Zimmer and Owen Miller to leave Gimenez stranded. The versatile infielder will mainly see starts versus right-handed pitching as he competes with Owen Miller and Yu Chang for playing time around the infield.
Aug 27, 2021
Day off Friday
Gimenez will hit the bench Friday against the Red Sox.
ANALYSIS
Gimenez has been in the lineup just once against a lefty since returning to the majors in early August. He'll sit here against southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez, with Owen Miller starting at second base.
Aug 25, 2021
On bench Wednesday
Gimenez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers.
ANALYSIS
The lefty-hitting Gimenez will bow out of the lineup with southpaw Jake Latz on the hill for Texas. Rather than usual platoon mate Ernie Clement, Cleveland will go with the righty-hitting Owen Miller at second base in Gimenez's stead.
Aug 21, 2021
Not starting Saturday
Gimenez isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Angels.
ANALYSIS
Gimenez has only started against five left-handers this year, and he'll take a seat Saturday with southpaw Reid Detmers on the mound for the Halos. Ernie Clement will start at the keystone and bat ninth.
Aug 18, 2021
Gets breather Wednesday
Gimenez isn't starting Wednesday against Minnesota.
ANALYSIS
Gimenez went 3-for-11 with two runs, a stolen base, four walks and a strikeout across the last four games. Ernie Clement will start at second base and bat ninth.
Aug 15, 2021
Nabs another steal
Gimenez went 1-for-2 with two walks and a stolen base in Saturday's 6-4 loss to Detroit.
ANALYSIS
The infielder got a start at shortstop to give Amed Rosario a breather. Gimenez was one of two Cleveland hitters to reach base three times in the contest. He's already recorded two stolen bases in six games since he was recalled from Triple-A Columbus, but he's gone just 2-for-15 with three walks in that span. Despite the poor batting, Gimenez will slide over to second base and bat eighth in Sunday's series finale in Detroit.
Aug 13, 2021
Not starting Friday
Gimenez will not start Friday against Detroit.
ANALYSIS
Gimenez appears set to fill a platoon role down the stretch. Since his return to the big leagues last weekend, he's started against all four righties Cleveland has faced while sitting against all three lefties, including Friday's starter Tyler Alexander. Ernie Clement will be the second baseman in his absence.
Aug 12, 2021
Notches steal Wednesday
Gimenez went 0-for-2 with a walk and a stolen base in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to Oakland.
ANALYSIS
The infielder worked a double steal with Oscar Mercado in the seventh inning. Gimenez is up to five stolen bases in 97 major-league plate appearances this season. He's gone 1-for-10 with a walk and one RBI in four games (three starts) since he was recalled from Triple-A Columbus. The 22-year-old will likely compete with Ernie Clement for playing time at second base, which could lead to a strong-side platoon for Gimenez.
Aug 7, 2021
Back in big leagues
Gimenez was called up by Cleveland on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Gimenez came with plenty of hype over the offseason following a trade from the Mets, but he fell flat on his face, hitting just .179/.226/.308 in 29 games. He won't be in the lineup immediately upon his promotion, but he seems to have earned another shot at a regular role, as he hit .287/.342/.502 in 52 games for Triple-A Columbus. J.C. Mejia was optioned in a corresponding move.
Jul 29, 2021
Not a big-league option yet
Gimenez won't be called up within the next week despite Thursday's trade that sent Cesar Hernandez to the White Sox, Joe Noga of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
ANALYSIS
While Gimenez struggled significantly at the big-league level to open the season, he's hit a much better .274/.335/.492 for Triple-A Columbus and would be Hernandez's logical replacement. The Venezuelan infielder is in the process of establishing permanent residency in the United States, however, meaning he couldn't take part in next week's trip to Toronto. Owen Miller will get the call-up for now, but it's possible Gimenez gets an opportunity when Cleveland crosses the border again to host the Tigers on Aug. 6.
