Cavan Biggio Dealing With Sore Neck
4 years agoToronto Blue Jays manager Charlie Montoyo moved infielder Cavan Biggio (neck) to designated hitter on Tuesday against the Boston Red Sox because he's been dealing with a sore neck that makes it harder to throw. Biggio has primarily been playing third base, but Santiago Espinal got the nod at the hot corner while batting eighth against left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez on Tuesday. It's unclear how long the Blue Jays plan to use Biggio as the DH, but it's likely just a short-term situation. It's something to watch, especially as the 26-year-old has gotten off to a really slow start to the season entering Tuesday's game, slashing .214/.336/.339 with three home runs, 10 RBI and two stolen bases in 112 at-bats over 35 games. Fantasy managers will be hoping that some time off his feet will get him going at the plate.
