TORONTO - The Toronto Blue Jays reinstated second baseman Andres Gimenez from the 10-day injured list Tuesday and designated infielder Buddy Kennedy for assignment. 

Gimenez, a three-time Gold Glove award winner, missed five weeks with a left ankle sprain.

The moves were announced shortly before the Blue Jays opened a three-game series against the visiting Chicago Cubs. 

Entering play Tuesday night, Gimenez had five homers, 23 RBIs and a .218 average. 

Kennedy had one hit in two games for the Blue Jays. He also played four games for the Philadelphia Phillies earlier this season.
