Toronto Blue Jays activate Andres Gimenez, DFA catcher and infielder

Stefanic, 29, appeared in nine games for the Jays after Giménez hit the injured list and went 4-for-22 with four singles, three walks and three strikeouts.

That marked the fourth season in which he's logged big league time but the first that he's done so for any team other than the Angels. Stefanic has appeared in 99 MLB games and batted .227/.314/.267 in 289 trips to the plate.

For all his struggles in limited big league time, Stefanic has excelled at the top level in the minors.

He's played parts of five Triple-A seasons and touts a .344/.436/.468 batting line in a hefty sample of 1568 plate appearances. Stefanic has drawn 190 walks in Triple-A (12.2%) against just 147 strikeouts (9.7%).

He has nearly 3000 career innings at second base and about 700 innings of work at both shortstop and third base.

He's regarded as a poor defender at each spot, however, and offers below-average grades in both power and speed as well.

The 28-year-old Sánchez went 2-for-11 with a double in his short time with the Jays.

He was selected to the major league roster when Heineman hit the 7-day concussion injured list.

This is Sánchez's fourth season with a brief big league appearance, but he's never tallied more than 31 games or 96 plate appearances at the major league level in a given season.

He's a .176/.217/.222 hitter in 43 MLB games/121 plate appearances.

Though he's never hit in his limited MLB time, Sánchez is regarded as a quality defensive backstop with a nice track record at the plate in Triple-A.

The maximum length of the DFA window for either Stefanic or Sánchez is seven days.

The Jays are free to explore trades or place them on waivers along the way, although since waivers are a 48-hour process, they'd need to have a trade lined up within five days or else go the waiver route with either or both players.
