Blue Jays call up shortstop prospect Leo Jimenez – MLB News

31 seconds agoThe Toronto Blue Jays recalled infield prospect Leo Jimenez from the minors on Tuesday and placed utility man Isiah Kiner Falefa (knee) on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to July 1) with a left knee sprain. The team’s No. 5 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, is out of Toronto’s starting lineup Tuesday against the visiting Houston Astros. However, the 23-year-old could occasionally be mixed in with Kiner-Falefa on the injured list at both second and third base. Jimenez’s stay in the major leagues could be brief, so fantasy managers in redraft leagues shouldn’t break the bank to bring him on the waiver wire. The Panamanian center fielder slashed .271/.416/.431 with an .847 OPS, seven homers, 23 RBI and 40 runs scored in 57 games for Triple-A in the minor leagues this year, earning his first promotion to the big leagues.—Keith Hernandez – RotoBaller
