Bo Bichette has Not Resumed Running
Bo Bichette (knee) continues to swing a bat and has begun throwing, but a timeline for a running progression is "still unclear," according to Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet. Still, the Jays are "hopeful" that Bichette will be able to return to their lineup for the playoffs. However, it remains to be seen when that will happen and in what capacity. The 27-year-old All-Star is trying to make it back from a PCL sprain in his left knee that has kept him sidelined for the last three weeks. Toronto is trying to hold off the division-rival New York Yankees to win the American League East, which would give them a first-round bye and give Bichette more time to recover. If the Yankees win the division and secure a first-round bye, it would seem likely that Bichette wouldn't be ready for the wild-card round, which starts on Tuesday. Until Bichette can return, Andres Gimenez will start at the 6 for Toronto.
