Biggio (shoulder) will start at second base and bat second Thursday versus the Tigers in his Grapefruit League debut.
Biggio has been brought along methodically this spring after coming into camp with tendinitis in his left (non-throwing) shoulder, but he's been ramping up of late and is now ready to test himself in a game setting. The 28-year-old is likely to fill a super-utility role for the Blue Jays this season, seeing time at second base, third base and right field.
