Blue Jays Say Bo Bichette Still Day-to-Day, Casting Doubt on Postseason Opener

His lack of running leaves his opening-round availability in doubt.

Overview

  • Manager John Schneider reported “some progress” but “no real change,” keeping the All-Star shortstop on a day-to-day timeline.
  • MLB.com’s Keegan Matheson reported Bichette had not begun running as of Tuesday, a key benchmark he has yet to clear.
  • Toronto has already ruled Bichette out for the remainder of the regular season following a left knee PCL sprain suffered on Sept. 6.
  • The Blue Jays and Yankees are tied with three games left, and Toronto holds the season-series tiebreaker as it closes against the Rays.
  • If forced into a Wild Card series, Toronto may have to open without Bichette or limit him to designated hitter, complicating lineup decisions.
