Biggio, 27, has struggled to start the 2022 season, hitting just .043 with one hit and two runs scored through 28 plate appearances. Biggio has started nine of the Blue Jays' 16 games and has split time with Santiago Espinal at second base.

In 252 career MLB games, Biggio has a .230/.350/.398 slash line with 31 home runs, 103 RBI, and 23 stolen bases.

Outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (oblique) is expected to take live batting practice over the next coupe of days, Atkins added. He could return soon after if he does not experience any setbacks. Catcher Danny Jansen is behind Hernandez's timeline and is participating in baseball activities but has not progressed to swinging a bat.

Hernandez hit .316 with one home run and three RBI in six game before being placed on the injured list.

Jansen was also playing well before being placed on the IL with an oblique injury, hitting .571 with a pair of solo home runs in three games.
