Overview

  • Manager John Schneider said Tuesday that Bichette will miss the remainder of the regular season after injuring his left knee on Sept. 6 and going on the IL retroactive to Sept. 7.
  • Dr. Dan Cooper’s evaluation in Dallas matched the initial diagnosis of a left PCL sprain with no structural damage, with rest and rehabilitation prescribed rather than surgery.
  • Toronto hopes Bichette can begin baseball activities later this week, with the possibility of returning as a designated hitter before resuming shortstop duties still on the table.
  • Andrés Giménez has shifted to shortstop in Bichette’s absence as the Blue Jays reorganize their infield while holding the American League’s best record and positioning for a top seed.
  • Bichette’s regular season ends at .311/.357/.483 with 18 home runs, 94 RBIs, and MLB leads in hits (181) and doubles (44), heightening the stakes for his potential postseason availability in a contract year.
