Blue Jays activate IF Cavan Biggio prior to series vs. Yankees

The Toronto Blue Jays activated infielder Cavan Biggio from the 10-day injured list ahead of Tuesday's series opener against the visiting New York Yankees.

Biggio, 26, initially had been sidelined since Aug. 2 with mid-back tightness. He then incurred an elbow injury during his rehab at Triple-A Buffalo.

Biggio is batting .215 with seven home runs and 26 RBIs in 77 games during his third season with Toronto.
