The Toronto Blue Jays announced a long list of roster moves this morning as Andres Gimenez has been placed on IL while Will Robertson has been DFA'd.
The Blue Jays stated that Gimenez hurt himself against the Los Angeles Angels a couple games ago running the bases and now it looks like he is headed to IL due to the injury.

Big batch of roster moves pre-game from the #BlueJays:
Andres Gimenez hits the injured list with a left ankle sprain while Lazaro Estrada, after throwing four innings in debut, is optioned to triple-A Buffalo.
Righty Ryan Burr returns from the 60-day IL and gives the bullpen a fresh arm. Joey Loperfido is up to take Gimenez spot

The shocking move was Robertson being DFA'd since he only got his first shot at the MLB this season after being drafted in 2019 and even though he did not put up great numbers, he only saw 10 at bats.
It will be interesting to see if anyone ends up taking a shot at him.
