Bo Bichette Resumes Running
3 months agoToronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette (calf) has started running at the team's spring training complex in Dunedin, Fla., according to manager John Schneider. Bichette will join the Blue Jays at Fenway Park and stick with them through their road trip as he works his way towards a minor-league rehab assignment. Running full speed and running the bases will likely be the last couple boxes Bichette needs to check before getting the green light for a rehab assignment. The 26-year-old began hitting and fielding recently as well as he works his way back from a strained right calf that landed him on the injured list to begin the second half of the season. Bichette won't rejoin the big-league squad until early September, at which point he'll have limited time to turn around what has been one of the most disappointing seasons for a high-end fantasy name. Rookie Leo Jimenez has been seeing most of the starts at the 6 in Bichette's absence.
