Bo Bichette On Track To Return Tuesday
5 months agoToronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette (calf) ran the bases, did some hitting and also did some fielding on Monday and is on pace to return from the injured list on Monday. Bichette's calf injury was never all that serious, but the Blue Jays opted to play it safe with one of their best players and put him on the IL. The 26-year-old should be back in Toronto's lineup on Tuesday and will be hoping to turn things around at the plate after what has so far been a rough season offensively. In his absence, Isiah Kiner-Falefa has been serving as the team's starter at the 6 with Bichette on the shelf. The former second-round pick in 2016 will return to a .237/.286/.342 slash line with just four home runs, 28 RBI, four steals and 22 runs scored in 257 at-bats. Bichette had gone 10-for-49 (.204) with no no homers and three RBI in 13 games in June before going on the IL.
