Blue Jays' Andres Gimenez: Cleared for running

Gimenez (ankle) began a running progression Thursday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Gimenez has been on the injured list with a sprained left ankle since early July but remains without a defined return timeline. However, it's worth noting that manager John Schneider said that Gimenez's first day of running went "better than expected," which keeps the door open for the infielder to return to action in the near future.
