AL East-leading Blue Jays place infielder Andrés Giménez on injured list with left ankle sprain
Giménez left Toronto's 4-3 win over the Los Angeles Angels on Friday. He had tweaked his left ankle covering second base on a steal on Wednesday against the New York Yankees and did not play Thursday as Toronto completed a sweep of the four-game series. His move to the IL was retroactive to Saturday. Giménez is batting .218 with five homers and 23 RBI's for the AL East-leading Blue Jays.
In other moves before Sunday's game against Los Angeles, right-hander Ryan Burr was reinstated from the 60-day IL and outfielder Joey Loperfido was recalled from Triple-A. Also, right-hander Lazaro Estrada was optioned to Triple-A and outfielder Will Robertson was designated for assignment.
Burr had been sidelined with a right shoulder issue and did rehab with Triple-A Buffalo, where he struck out 17 in 12 1/3 innings over 11 games and went 1-0 with a 3.65 ERA.
Loperfido was in the lineup Sunday, batting eighth and playing right field. This season in Triple-A, the 26-year-old is batting .278 with nine home runs and 36 RBIs.
Estrada made his big league debut against the Angels on Saturday, striking out four in four innings of relief.

Sergio García forced to finish Open without his driver after snapping club in frustration
As a Masters champion and Ryder Cup icon, Sergio García boasts a resume that most golf lovers could only dream of. Yet for a few furious seconds at The Open Championship on Sunday, he was relatable to even the most amateur of hackers. The Spaniard played the last 16 holes of his 26th appearance at the major without his driver after snapping the club in frustration just five shots into his final round at Royal Portrush, Northern Ireland. Having opened with par, the 45-year-old wasted little time in showing his displeasure when his drive from the second tee careened left into the rough alongside the fairway. In an almost fluid follow through from his swing, ball still in the air, García slammed his driver into the turf. The outburst stopped there, but the damage was done, as the lower half of the severed club bounced away towards the 11-time PGA Tour winner's bag. With players permitted to repair or replace clubs 'except in cases of abuse,' as per the rules of tournament organizers The R&A, García headed on without one of his most important weapons. On his return to the clubhouse, García said he had not been trying to break the club and was 'surprised' to see it snap in half. 'I've done that 50 times, and I've never broken a club,' he told reporters. 'I don't know, maybe the shaft had a little thing there because I didn't feel like with what I did it should have broken, but that's what it was, and then I got some good practice when I threw it.' Yet, despite not having all 14 clubs, the 2017 Masters champion still went on to card his best round of a solid week on the Causeway Coast. After recovering superbly at the par-five second to make birdie, García poured in four more – including three across the back nine – to shoot three-under 68, bettering his third round bogey-free 70 and lifting him to three-under par overall. Though that left him well short of tournament leader Scottie Scheffler, who took a four-shot advantage into the final round at 14-under par, it looks set to be a marked improvement on his last outing at the major: a tied-68th finish at St Andrews in 2022. '(If) I started with 14 (clubs), I don't know, maybe I would have shot worse. You never know,' García said. Runner-up in both 2007 and 2014, García had played in 24 successive Opens before falling short at Final Qualifying in the past two years. An agonizing missed putt from three feet in March looked to have extinguished his hopes of a place in this year's field, only for him to subsequently secure his spot as the leading non-exempt player on the LIV Golf rankings – a new entry category introduced for the 153rd edition of the tournament. García will be hoping his performance impressed European Ryder Cup Captain Luke Donald, as the biennial competition's all-time record points scorer (28.5) looks to make the Englishman's roster for the 45th edition in Farmingdale, New York this September. Should he be chosen as a wildcard, six-time winner García would draw level with Nick Faldo and Lee Westwood for the most Ryder Cup appearances for Europe (11), one shy of American Phil Mickelson's all-time record. 'It's no secret that we have been talking,' García said of Donald Sunday. 'It would mean the world to me to be there. Obviously if I can help the team, that's my main goal, I've always said it. 'I think that I can bring things to the team … to any team that would probably need it. Obviously at the end of the day, he's going to make whatever he thinks is the best decision for him and his team.' 'It's still a couple months to go. I wish I could have a crystal ball and see the future, but unfortunately, I cannot,' he added.

IndyCar's Santino Ferrucci Won't Race In Toronto After Crash In Warmup
Crewmembers from AJ Foyt Racing go over the damage on Santino Ferrucci's No. 14 Chevrolet on July 20 ... More at Toronto's Exhibition Place. TORONTO – IndyCar Series driver Santino Ferrucci crashed in Sunday Morning Warmup at Toronto's Exhibition Place and damaged his No. 14 Chevrolet so bad, it won't be able to compete in Sunday's Ontario Honda Dealers Indy 200. Ferrucci crashed in Turn 8 with 3 minutes left in the session after setting the third-fastest time in the warmup. Ferrucci also injured his wrist from the impact and according to AJ Foyt Racing spokesperson Anne Fornoro, it is not fractured, but he wrist is swollen. Ferrucci was checked and released from INDYCAR Medical and was seen in the team's paddock area talking to team president Larry Foyt while holding an ice bag to his wrist. According to Ferrucci, the Hybrid assist was engaged when he entered the turn and with the Firestone Black primary tire, it carried too much speed into Turn 8. Ferrucci was on a hot streak entering Sunday's race but will be forced to sit this one out because of the damage to the car and not enough time to repair it. Ferrucci Car Totaled AJ Foyt Racing President Larry Foyt revealed Ferrucci was cleared to drive in Sunday's Ontario Honda Dealers Indy Toronto, but the No. 14 Chevrolet was 'totaled' in the crash in Turn 8 that ended Sunday morning warmup. Ferrucci sustained an injured right wrist but did not suffer a fracture. The car, however, didn't fare as well. 'His hand took a pretty good hit in the cockpit,' Foyt said. 'The X -rays were negative. He was cleared to drive, but sure, could we get a car out there? Possibly. But I don't want to push him either. I'd rather get focused on Laguna. Larry Foyt (Photo by Michael L. Levitt/Lumen via Getty Images) 'It would have been hard for us to get out there anyway. That car was really heavily damaged. The backup car here obviously and it's a quick turn between this warm -up and the race. 'That car is not repairable for today.' Ferrucci entered the weekend 10th in the championship, with 237 points. Teammate David Malukas also has 237 points, but Ferrucci gets the position based on tiebreaker. 'It is a bummer because fighting for a top 10 in the championship, this is a pretty big blow, but we just, we feel like the last four races are still really strong for us and for him,' Foyt said. 'We are not going to give up on trying to get back in the top 10. 'This is racing, and things happen and it's, it's part of it. It's fortunate. It's a hard part. I don't know why Toronto seems like doesn't like the 14 car. Two years in a row we've had a big one here, but just unfortunate. It happens. I know he feels bad. The team feels bad but we'll, we'll be back next week.' Next weekend's race is in Monterey, California and Foyt believed it was better to properly prepare the backup car for that race instead of a rush job in a limited period of time to compete at Toronto. 'It's probably easier to say what isn't damaged,' Foyt said of the car. 'It got into the crash structure of the tub, which is a lengthy thing, so you'd be going to a backup car no matter what at that point. And there's still, diagnosing the engine and all those things. 'There were still a lot of things that that had to happen if we were going to try to get out to push out, which is in an hour. So, it's a tough decision because we all come here to race. 'I think for the team, for our situation right now, just getting ready, we have a quick turn to go to Laguna, and we need to do well there. So let Santino rest up, let the guys take their time, get the backup car prepared and go there.' To complicate matters, IndyCar is currently in race No. 4 of a five races in four weekend stretch that began on July 6 at Mid-Ohio, continued with a doubleheader last weekend at Iowa Speedway, moved to Toronto and concludes in California next week. Foyt admitted that was another factor in waiting to put Ferrucci back in another car on Sunday. 'Especially a big one like that where it's pretty much totaled that's a tough one to rebound from given the quick turnaround,' Foyt said. Santino Ferrucci
