Overview

• Before ALDS Game 4 in New York, Bichette completed very light jogs in the Yankee Stadium outfield without a knee brace, his first observed running since the Sept. 6 left‑knee PCL sprain.
• Reporters on site noted he looked uncomfortable walking back to the dugout afterward, underscoring that his recovery remains incomplete.
• Manager John Schneider said the past three days have been "pretty positive," confirming Wednesday as his first day running after taking simulated at-bats Tuesday against Max Scherzer and Chris Bassitt.
• Toronto left Bichette off the ALDS roster and has not set a timetable; he could be added for the ALCS if the Jays advance, though outside reporting characterizes an opening-game return as optimistic.
• Team officials say no timeline will be created until he can truly run, and Schneider indicated they would not use a limited late‑inning role, while Ken Rosenthal observed he is not moving like a fully healthy player.
