Bo Bichette Activated From Injured List Friday

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette (right quad) was activated from the 10-day injured list on Friday afternoon. The 25-year-old had been out since Aug. 27. He's slashing .314/.344/.488 with 18 homers this season, meaning his activation is great news for the Blue Jays and fantasy managers like. He should return to the starting lineup right away.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s Unusual, Replacement-Level Season

The Blue Jays are 1.5 games behind the Rangers for the last AL wild card berth, so it remains quite possible that Toronto could still end up as part of the postseason bracket.  However, simply squeaking into the playoffs wasn’t at all what the Jays envisioned when spending roughly $215MM (a club record) in payroll…

Bo Bichette Could Be Back A Week From Now

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette (quadriceps) did some running, hitting and fielding of ground balls right at him on Friday, and the hope is that he'll be back within the minimum 10 days on the injured list, according to manager John Schneider. Bichette will be first eligible to return from the IL next Friday, Sept. 8. The 25-year-old was placed on the IL for the second time in the second half of the season with a right-quadriceps strain, but it wasn't too serious. The two-time All-Star is one of the best shortstops in the game when healthy and is a must-start in fantasy lineups when he's on the field. When Bichette returns, Ernie Clement will go back to a bench role for the Blue Jays. Bichette is hitting a strong .314/.344/.488 with an .831 OPS, 18 home runs, 62 RBI, three stolen bases and 54 runs scored in 114 games in 2023.

Blue Jays Place Bo Bichette On IL, Select Mason McCoy

The Blue Jays announced that shortstop Bo Bichette has been placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to August 28, with a right quad strain. Infielder Mason McCoy has been selected to the roster in a corresponding move. The club already had a 40-man vacancy. For Bichette, it’s his second trip to the IL this…

Bo Bichette Placed On 10-Day Injured List

The Toronto Blue Jays placed shortstop Bo Bichette (quadriceps) on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to Aug. 28) with a right-quadriceps strain on Tuesday and selected the contract of infielder Mason McCoy from the minors in a corresponding move. Bichette injured his quad on Sunday and will return to the IL after recently missing time with patellar knee tendinitis. The good news is that the 25-year-old's quad injury isn't related to his knee, so hopefully he can return when he's eligible early in September. Ernie Clement is getting another start at the 6 for Toronto on Tuesday, but Santiago Espinal is another candidate to see playing time at shortstop until Bichette returns. Bichette is one of the best fantasy shortstops in the game when healthy, so he needs to remain stashed in all leagues.

Bo Bichette Going For MRI Exam

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette (quadriceps) is going for an MRI exam on Monday. Bichette was pulled early from Sunday's game against the Cleveland Guardians with right-quadriceps tightness and he's not playing in the series opener on Monday against the Washington Nationals. The Blue Jays apparently pulled Bichette on Sunday out of an abundance of caution, but the fact he's going for an MRI exam could mean it's more serious than they initially believed. Until we know more, fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day and check back for the results on his MRI exam or to see if he has returned to the lineup on Tuesday. The good news is the 25-year-old All-Star's injury is unrelated to the patellar tendinitis in his right knee that caused him to land on the injured list last month.

Bo Bichette Out Against Nationals

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette (quadriceps) is not in the team's starting lineup for the start of a series on Monday against the visiting Washington Nationals. Ernie Clement will draw the start at the 6 instead and will hit in the eighth spot against Nationals right-hander Josiah Gray. Bichette was forced from Sunday's game early against the Cleveland Guardians as a precaution with right-quadriceps tightness. Fantasy managers should continue to consider the 25-year-old All-Star to be day-to-day and check back to see if he's able to return on Tuesday. Clement has only seen action in 12 games for Toronto this year and has gone 4-for-8 with two RBI, a stolen base and three runs scored.

Bo Bichette Removed From Game Sunday

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette (quadriceps) was replaced in Sunday's game after experiencing tightness in his quad. Expect some sort of further announcement from the Blue Jays after the game, but consider him day-to-day for now.

Bo Bichette Activated, Playing On Saturday

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette (knee) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Saturday. The 25-year-old missed most of the month of August due to tendinitis in his right knee. His return is great news for the Blue Jays who haven't received much production from the shortstop position in his absence. Bichette will play shortstop and bat second versus left-hander Brandon Williamson on Saturday. In a corresponding move, infielder Paul DeJong has been designated for assignment.

Bo Bichette Expected To Return Saturday

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette (knee) played shortstop and hit a home run in a minor-league rehab game with Triple-A Buffalo on Thursday and said he checked all of the boxes, so he's expected to return from the injured list and play for the Jays on Saturday against the Cincinnati Reds. "I'll be flying out to Cincinnati and should be in the lineup on Saturday," Bichette said. The 25-year-old All-Star has been out since late July with patellar tendinitis in his right knee, but he looks to be feeling much better and should be returned to all starting fantasy lineups on Saturday. Despite missing time with his knee injury, Bichette still leads the American League with 144 hits this year and also has 17 home runs, 59 RBI and a .321 batting average in 106 games.

Bo Bichette Goes Deep In Rehab Outing

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette (knee) went 2-for-2 with a home run, three RBI and a run scored in a minor-league rehab game with Triple-A Buffalo on Thursday. In his first rehab game for Buffalo on Wednesday, Bichette went 2-for-3 with two singles and a run scored, so he's seeing the ball well early in his rehab assignment and should be able to return to the Blue Jays sooner than later. In fact, the 25-year-old All-Star could return as early as Friday's series opener against the Cincinnati Reds. Bichette has been out since late July with patellar tendinitis in his right knee, but he should be rostered in all fantasy leagues as a must-start when healthy. Despite missing time with injury, Bichette is still leading the American League with 144 hits in 106 games.

Bo Bichette Starting Rehab Assignment Tuesday

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette (knee) will start his minor-league rehab assignment as the designated hitter on Tuesday night with Triple-A Buffalo, and the plan is for him to play shortstop on Wednesday. A return to the Blue Jays active roster by this weekend against the Cincinnati Reds is a possibility. That should be music to fantasy managers' ears. The 25-year-old is one of the best fantasy options at shortstop when he's healthy, and he still currently leads the league in hits with 144. When he returns, Paul DeJong will operate in more of a utility role for the Blue Jays. Bichette will come back to a strong .321/.352/.494 slash line with an .847 OPS, 17 home runs, 25 doubles, a triple, 59 RBI, three stolen bases and 50 runs scored in his 471 plate appearances. The stolen bases are down, but everything else has been gravy.

Bo Bichette Not Running At Full Speed Yet

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette (knee) has been hitting in the cages in Toronto and jogging, but he's not running at full speed yet. It's tough to put a timetable on when he will run at full speed until he's running the bases, but manager John Schneider said he's encouraged and that Bichette is feeling better each day. The 25-year-old All-Star shortstop is attempting to return from a bout of right-patellar tendinitis. Bichette needs to remain stashed in all fantasy leagues, as he's one of the best shortstops in the game when healthy. He has hit .321/.352/.494 on the year with an .847 OPS. His .321 batting average and 144 total hits lead the American League. Bichette has led the AL in hits in each of the last three seasons.

Bo Bichette Has Good Day Monday

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette (knee) had a good day while working out on Monday. "Great day for him (Monday) where he was moving around with very few symptoms, almost not at all," general manager Ross Atkins said about Bichette. The 25-year-old All-Star shortstop is attempting to return from patellar tendinitis in his right knee that landed him on the injured list. He's ramping up baseball activities and appears to be in a good place, so hopefully fantasy managers will have him back sooner than later. For what it's worth, Bichette is eligible to return from the injured list this Friday. When healthy, he's a must-start in everyday fantasy lineups, as he's currently slashing .321/.352/.494 with an .847 OPS, 17 home runs, 59 RBI, three steals and 50 runs scored in 449 at-bats.

Bo Bichette Goes On Injured List

The Toronto Blue Jays are placing shortstop Bo Bichette (knee) on the injured list on Wednesday with right-patellar tendinitis. Bichette was considered day-to-day with knee inflammation on Tuesday, but now he's dealing with tendinitis and will get at least 10 days to rest up. Toronto traded for Paul DeJong at the trade deadline on Tuesday, so he figures to fill in at the 6 for the Jays until Bichette is able to return. The team doesn't expect their star shortstop to be out for an extended period. The 25-year-old made his second All-Star team this year and is currently leading the league with 449 at-bats, 144 hits and a .321 batting average. He needs to be stashed in an IL spot in all fantasy formats for the time being.

No Structural Damage For Bo Bichette

Updating a previous report, Toronto Blue Jays manager John Schneider said that shortstop Bo Bichette (knee) underwent an MRI exam on Monday night that showed no significant structural damage, just inflammation. Bichette is considered day-to-day for now. There's a good chance that Bichette won't play on Tuesday against the Baltimore Orioles after leaving early on Monday, but he appears to be able to avoid the injured list. Toronto acquired shortstop Paul DeJong from the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday as insurance for Bichette. Whenever the All-Star shortstop returns to the Jays' lineup, fantasy managers need to reinsert him into their starting lineups.

Bo Bichette Not Expected To Be Out Long

The Toronto Blue Jays acquired shortstop Paul DeJong from the St. Louis Cardinals at the trade deadline on Tuesday as depth for star shortstop Bo Bichette (knee), but Bichette isn't expected to be out for long. The Jays also checked in on New York Yankees utility man Isiah Kiner-Falefa. Bichette had to leave early on Monday with his knee injury, and although he probably won't play on Tuesday against the visiting Baltimore Orioles, it sounds like he should avoid a stint on the injured list. Bichette is an absolute must-start in fantasy lineups when he's on the field, as he's slashing a very strong .321/.352/.494 with an .847 OPS, 17 home runs, 59 RBI, three steals and 50 runs scored in 449 at-bats this year. He leads the American League in hits (144) and batting average.

Blue Jays Acquire Paul DeJong From Cardinals

The Toronto Blue Jays have acquired infielder Paul DeJong from the St. Louis Cardinals, according to Katie Woo of The Athletic. St. Louis was rumored to be exploring trades of many infielders, and DeJong is the first to go. Interestingly enough, this is the second trade between the Cardinals and Blue Jays in the last week; closer Jordan Hicks was also sent north of the border. DeJong should have an immediate role in Toronto after shortstop Bo Bichette left last night's game with a knee injury. He played 81 games for the Cardinals this year, slashing .233/.297/.412 with 13 homers, 6.9 BB%, and 28.4 K%. The 29-year-old is an above-average defender with 9.0 dWAR and 8.0 OAA in 2023. With that said, he lacks fantasy appeal for the time being.

Bo Bichette Leaves Game Early With Apparent Injury

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette left his team's Monday night game against the Baltimore Orioles with an apparent injury. Bichette grabbed his right knee after rounding first following a single to right field. He was replaced in the field at shortstop by Santiago Espinal following the play. If Bichette were forced to miss extended time, it would be a big blow to both the Blue Jays and fantasy gamers. Look for Toronto to update his status sometime before Tuesday's game.

Bo Bichette Leading The American League In Hits

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette is the current hits leader in the American League with 122. The 25-year-old has put together a sensational first half of the season, slashing .317/.346/.496 with 15 home runs, 52 RBI, and three stolen bases over 385 at-bats. The power and RBI are around what we have come to expect from Bichette but the stolen base count is surprisingly low. He's nabbed three stolen bases on just six attempts after stealing 13 in 2022 and 25 in 2021. Perhaps the theft numbers will tick up in the second half but fantasy managers can't be too upset with Bichette's production up to this point. He's on pace to lead the AL in hits for the third consecutive season while potentially picking up his first silver slugger award in the process.

Bo Bichette Ends Homerless Drought In Tough Loss

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's back-and-forth tilt with the Boston Red Sox. The 25-year-old was thrown out trying to score the tying run during the ninth inning to unintentionally thwart his own squad's comeback attempt as they fell 7-6. Though, Bichette did halt a 19-game homer-less dry spell with a third-inning blast. The hitting machine is batting .317 with an .857 OPS, 15 homers, 43 RBI, and three stolen bases as Bichette looks to lead the AL in total knocks for the third straight campaign. The lack of running is a bit curious, as Bichette has witnessed a yearly decline in stolen-base rate since 2021.
