Gimenez missed about four weeks due to a right quadriceps strain while Heineman was out for over a week due to a concussion. Both players were active for the opener of the three-game series at Rogers Centre.
Manager John Schneider also provided updates on a number of injured players during his pre-game media availability.
— Right-hander Max Scherzer, who has made one start this season due to a thumb issue, threw a 37-pitch live bullpen session Tuesday. The next step will likely be a three-inning/50-pitch appearance Sunday in a simulated game or a Florida Complex League game.
— Outfielder Anthony Santander (shoulder) had a platelet-rich plasma injection Monday and will likely need at least five days before he resumes throwing activity.
