Bo Bichette Optimistic for ALCS Return as Blue Jays Weigh Roster Call

Toronto will decide after short-term running and medical checks.

Overview

  • Bo Bichette was seen jogging lightly at Yankee Stadium, his first on-field running since a Sept. 6 knee injury, though he still appeared cautious.
  • Manager Jon Schneider said the last few days have been positive, noting Bichette ran and took swings in a simulated session against Max Scherzer and Chris Bassitt.
  • The team expects a decision in the coming days, with Bichette needing to clear running benchmarks and be ready to play regularly rather than in a limited role.
  • Bichette has been out since spraining his left PCL on Sept. 6 and was left off the ALDS roster.
  • Toronto advanced to the ALCS after a 3-1 series win over the Yankees, opens Sunday at Rogers Centre against the Tigers–Mariners winner, and would gain a key bat if Bichette returns following a .311, 18-HR, 94-RBI season.
