Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette (knee) will miss the rest of the regular season, according to manager John Schneider. Bichette recently got a second opinion on his knee injury. It's significant enough to hold out Bichette for the final two weeks, but he could return for the postseason. The Jays are hopeful to get a first-round bye which would give Bichette an extended period of time to get ready to play again. However, Bichette still has a long way to go considering he hasn't resumed baseball activities yet. He can safely be dropped in all redraft formats at this point. Andres Gimenez figures to continue getting a majority of the starts at shortstop down the stretch of the season.

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette (knee) went for a second opinion on his sprained left knee, and it has been confirmed that he is dealing with a short-term injury, Jon Morosi of MLB.com reports. Bichette's knee should improve with rest and rehabilitation, meaning he could return in time for the postseason. Toronto has gone without Bichette, one of its best players this season, since Sept. 7. However, with a five-game lead in the AL East, the Blue Jays look like shoo-ins to clinch a playoff berth even without Bichette. The 27-year-old is a key reason for their success, as he has rebounded from a down season in 2024 to slash .311/.357/.483 with 18 homers, 94 RBI, 78 runs scored, and four stolen bases in 628 plate appearances. Andres Gimenez and Ernie Clement have filled in at short since Bichette landed on the 10-day injured list.

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette (knee) is scheduled to visit with a specialist for a second opinion. The initial diagnosis on Bichette is a sprained PCL, but the organization is hopeful to get a better timetable with this visit to Dr. Dan Cooper. The Blue Jays plan to have Bichette join them in Tampa Bay this week. It seems unlikely that he'll be ready to be activated when first eligible. Fantasy managers will need to check back for another update on his status. In the meantime, Andres Gimenez will likely continue to see the bulk of the playing time at shortstop.

The Toronto Blue Jays announced on Tuesday that they placed shortstop Bo Bichette (knee) on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to Sept. 7) with a left-knee sprain and recalled outfielder Joey Loperfido from Triple-A Buffalo in a corresponding move. Bichette injured his knee while sliding on Saturday against the New York Yankees and then didn't play in the series finale on Sunday. The 27-year-old All-Star will now miss at least the next 10 days, although he might not be ready to return when eligible on Sept. 17. Losing Bichette down the stretch is a tough blow as the Jays try to win the American League East. With Bichette missing some time, expect the contact-oriented Ernie Clement to work as the regular shortstop in Toronto. He's at the 6 for Monday's series opener against the visiting Houston Astros and is hitting seventh in the batting order.

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette (leg) is not in the lineup against the New York Yankees on Sunday. Ernie Clement will handle short and hit fifth in a meeting with ace left-hander Max Fried, while Isiah Kiner-Falefa will play third base and bat seventh. Manager John Schneider said Bichette's leg was "cut up pretty good" after a sixth-inning collision with Yankees catcher Austin Wells at home plate in a 3-1 loss on Saturday. Bichette finished the game, and X-rays came back negative, but Toronto is off Monday and will give him a couple of days to recuperate. The 27-year-old has played in 139 games this season and slashed an outstanding .311/.357/.483 with 18 homers, 93 RBI, 78 runs scored, and four stolen bases in 628 plate appearances.

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette (knee) is back at shortstop and is hitting third in the batting order for Friday's series opener against the visiting Los Angeles Angels and right-hander Kyle Hendricks at the Rogers Centre. Bichette stepped on a ball during pre-game batting practice on Monday and tweaked his knee, causing him to miss the entire four-game sweep of the division-rival New York Yankees. The 27-year-old is back for the weekend series against the Halos, though, and should be returned to all starting lineups for the first-place Blue Jays. It was an injury-plagued and disappointing 2024 campaign for Bichette, but he's bounced back in 2025, hitting .272 (97-for-357) with 11 home runs, 49 RBI, 39 runs scored and four stolen bases. Bichette has never faced the soft-tossing Hendricks in his career.

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette (knee) remains out of the starting lineup for Thursday's series finale against the division-rival New York Yankees. Second baseman Andres Gimenez is also sitting after an injury scare with his ankle in Wednesday's win. Ernie Clement is starting at short and batting sixth, while Leo Jimenez is at the keystone and in the nine-hole versus Yankees right-hander Clarke Schmidt. Bichette will end up missing the entire four-game series against the Yanks after stepping on a baseball during pre-game batting practice on Monday and tweaking his right knee. Fantasy managers will want to check back on Friday to see if Bichette is ready to return for the series opener against the visiting Los Angeles Angels. The 27-year-old two-time All-Star is in the midst of a bounce-back season and is hitting .272/.311/.427 with 11 homers, 49 RBI, 39 runs and four steals in 356 at-bats.UPDATE: Bichette should be available off the bench on Thursday, if needed, and it's "very realistic" that he'll be back in action on Friday.

Toronto Blue Jays manager John Schneider said that shortstop Bo Bichette (knee) is "feeling better today than he did yesterday," but he remains out of the starting lineup on Wednesday against the division-rival New York Yankees. "He's going through a little bit more of a regular day and the hope would be that he'd be available today (off the bench) if we need him," Schneider said. Ernie Clement will start at the 6 and will hit sixth versus Yankees right-hander Will Warren. Bichette tweaked his right knee stepping on a ball during pre-game batting practice on Monday and will miss his third straight start, but it sounds like the 27-year-old could play in Thursday's series finale against the Bombers. The former second-rounder had an injury-plagued and disappointing 2024 campaign but has bounced back nicely in 2025 and is once again a must-start in fantasy when he's active.

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette (knee) will miss a second straight game on Tuesday against the division-rival New York Yankees on Canada Day after tweaking his right knee during batting practice before Monday's series-opening win. Leo Jimenez will make the start at shortstop and will hit ninth against Yankees left-hander Max Fried. The good news is that Bichette, who is in the midst of a bounce-back 2025 campaign, didn't need testing on his knee and is considered day-to-day. The 27-year-old could be back in the starting lineup as early as Wednesday. Jimenez, who was called up from Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday, will be a low-upside deep DFS sleeper. The 24-year-old native of Panama will be making his season debut in the big leagues after hitting .229/.329/.358 with four home runs and 19 RBI in 63 games with Toronto a year ago.

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette (knee) was scratched from the team's lineup on Monday night against the Yankees, but the injury doesn't appear to be a serious issue for the 27-year-old, who is having a nice bounce-back season after dealing with multiple injuries last year. Bichette left the field in the middle of his round of batting practice after stepping on a baseball and twisting his knee. After the game, manager John Schneider said that the shortstop is day-to-day and isn't expected to undergo any additional testing at this point. He has a chance to be back in the order on Tuesday afternoon as the Blue Jays celebrate Canada Day with a matinee matchup against the Bronx Bombers.

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette (knee) has been scratched from the lineup for Monday's series opener against the division-rival New York Yankees due to right-knee discomfort, according to Sportsnet's Shi Dividi. Bichette came off the field in the middle of his round of batting practice. Ernie Clement is now starting at the 6 and will hit leadoff against Yankees left-hander Carlos Rodon. For now, fantasy managers should consider Bichette day-to-day, but with the All-Star break looming, don't be surprised if they play it safe and send him to the injured list, either. After an injury-plagued and disappointing 2024 campaign, the 27-year-old former second-rounder has bounced back in 2025, slashing .272/.311/.427 with 11 home runs, 49 RBI, 39 runs scored and four stolen bases in 356 at-bats. Clement will be DFS sleeper who is hitting .286 in seven career at-bats against Rodon.

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette swatted his 10th home run of the season in the team's 8-1 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday. Bichette got the Blue Jays off to a fast start with a 418-foot leadoff shot against Diamondbacks left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez. It was the first of three hits for Bichette, who also singled twice and scored an additional run during a 3-for-5 night. The 27-year-old has homered in back-to-back games as he continues distancing himself from a rough 2024 campaign. Healthy again after missing half of last season, Bichette has bounced back to slash .275/.317/.437 with 44 RBI, 36 runs, four steals, and a career-best 16.0% strikeout rate over 331 plate appearances.

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette went 2-for-5 with a double and a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-4 win against the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks. He added two runs scored. Bichette doubled and scored in the bottom of the seventh when teammate Vladimir Guerrero Jr. knocked him in a few batters later, but his most clutch hit of the outing came when they needed it most. The Florida native stepped up to the dish in the bottom of the ninth and crushed a Shelby Miller splitter 399 feet over the left-field wall to knot the score at four apiece. The 27-year-old has rebounded superbly in 2025 and looked much more like the player who hit .290 or better from 2021-2023. He's currently sporting a .306 xBA, placing him in the top 5% of all hitters.

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette helped lead the charge in the team's 9-1 blowout of the Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday. Bichette bashed a 413-foot homer against left-hander Jesus Luzardo and picked up a single to finish 2-for-4 with two RBI. It was the right-handed Bichette's first HR against a lefty this season. He has recorded a hit in nine straight games and now owns a .279/.324/.443 line with eight HRs, 35 RBI, four steals, and a career-best 15.7% strikeout rate in 281 plate appearances. Bichette's production fell off a cliff during an injury-ravaged 2024, but his numbers have returned to respectability in his age-27 campaign.

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette (back) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Thursday's game against the A's. Bichette was out of the starting lineup on Wednesday due to back tightness. Despite that, Bichette didn't get a full game off as he came in as a pinch hitter and hit a two-run home run. The 27-year-old has been in an ugly slump lately, but hopefully that will help him get back on track. He'll return to shortstop and serve as the leadoff hitter versus left-hander Jacob Lopez on Thursday.

Updating a previous report, Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette (back) is out of Wednesday's starting lineup against the hosting Texas Rangers due to lower-back tightness that he's been battling for a little bit, according to Sportsnet's Arden Zwelling. It's also why Bichette was the designated hitter on Tuesday. The Blue Jays consider Bichette to be day-to-day, and he could be available off the bench on Wednesday, depending on how he feels throughout the game. Ernie Clement is at the 6 and is hitting sixth against Rangers right-hander Tyler Mahle. Fantasy managers will want to check back on Thursday to see if Bichette is back in action in the series opener against the Athletics. Bichette has one hit in his last 21 plate appearances over five games with two walks and a strikeout, so it might be a good time to get him a little extra rest. He's hitting .270/.319/.391 overall with only four homers and four steals.

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette is out of the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Texas Rangers. This appears to be a rare rest day for Bichette who basically plays everyday. Bichette is in a bit of a slump as he's slashing .163/.217/.186 over his last 10 games. That being said, Bichette will take a seat and hopefully break out of his slump on Thursday. In his absence, Ernie Clement will cover shortstop and bat sixth versus right-hander Tyler Mahle. Fantasy managers should adjust their lineups accordingly with Bichette heading to the bench.

TorontoBlue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette went 2-for-4 with a double and a home run in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Mariners. The home run was just his second of the year, while he collected two RBI and scored once in the contest. The 2x All-Star has a solid .287/.337/.395 slash line with a .324 wOBA and 110 wRC+ so far this season, and many peripheral stats -- such as barrel and hard-hit rate -- are back in line with career norms after a down, injury-plagued 2024 campaign. While it hasn't shown up in the power department yet with a .108 ISO, his 9.3 percent barrel rate and xSLG of .504 may foretell that a surge is coming, and Saturday's performance may be a starting point.

Toronto Blue Jays manager John Schneider is undecided on where shortstop Bo Bichette will hit in the lineup this year, but the skipper mentioned both the leadoff and cleanup spots as possibilities. "2,3 Vlad and Tony (Santander), and then from there could be Bo (Bichette).. could be Bo 1, could be Bo 4, depending on who we're facing," Schneider said. If Bichette doesn't hit cleanup, veteran outfielder George Springer is another possibility. The cleanup spot would be a bit of a surprise after the 27-year-old was one of the biggest busts of the 2024 season, but he has made 106 starts in the cleanup spot in his career. Hitting cleanup would certainly give Bichette more chances to drive in runs with Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Anthony Santander hitting ahead of him, but it wouldn't necessarily guarantee a bounce-back. Bichette could be a nice value play if he slides in drafts because of his poor 2024 campaign.

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette is batting at the top of the lineup in their first spring training contest on Saturday afternoon. Bichette was typically slotted in the three or four holes during the 2024 season but saw nine opportunities in the top spot. The 26-year-old had the worst season of his six-year MLB career in 2024, posting a .225/.227/.322 slash line with 16 doubles, four home runs, and just five stolen bases. During the campaign, Bichette battled a calf injury and a finger injury, which hindered his production. However, seeing him at the top of the order suggests he is a full-go and past these injuries. Prior to his disappointing season, Bichette held a stellar .299/.340/.487 line across his first five MLB campaigns. Given his previous production in the majors, if he performs well in spring training, he could become a popular bounce-back target in drafts.
