Bo Bichette Out Of The Lineup On Thursday
5 months agoToronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette (calf) is out of the team's starting lineup for Thursday's series finale against the hosting San Francisco Giants after being pulled from Wednesday's contest early with right-calf soreness. Bichette's frustrating 2024 season continues. The Blue Jays are on the verge of being sellers at this year's trade deadline, but the fact that the 26-year-old is now hurt and has been slumping all season could mean that Toronto will hang onto him and trade him in the offseason or next summer. His calf injury doesn't appear to be very serious, but it's something to watch after he landed on the injured list back in June with a strain of the same calf muscle. With Bichette out in San Fran, Leo Jimenez will man the 6 and bat in the nine-hole for the Jays against Giants right-hander Jordan Hicks. UPDATE: Bichette has a right-calf fascia strain, according to manager John Schneider. The team is considering it day-to-day for now, but a player will likely join them for the weekend series in Arizona just in case.
