Blue Jays rookie Leo Jimenez was called up in early July after multiple injuries then with Bichette going down with a calf sprain, Jimenez took a full time spot in the lineup.
Jimenez has been taking full advantage on Bichette's absence as he has been great at the plate with 3 homeruns and a .721 OPS while consistently making great plays defensively.
Leo Jimenez is making the most of Martinez being suspended and Bichette being on the IL.
Three home runs, .721 OPS, and makes the routine plays at shortstop and second base. Sure the strike outs are a bit high but there is a lot to like with Jimenez.

While his number of strikeouts is still high, Jimenez is still proving that he belongs in the MLB.
Since there has been a ton of rumors floating around that Bichette will be dealt this off-season, the Blue Jays might have already found their replacement.
