All Options on the Table for Bo Bichette in World Series
Toronto Blue Jays All-Star shortstop Bo Bichette (knee) will face live pitching on Thursday, according to manager John Schneider. Bichette has also been taking ground balls, running, and hitting over the last few days. Schneider said there's "still a few more boxes to check," and "we're kind of coming right down to the wire with it" in terms of his availability for the World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers, which starts on Friday night in Toronto. If Bichette is included on the World Series roster, the skipper said that starting him at designated hitter, shortstop, or second base is all on the table. For what it's worth, Scheider said that Bichette "looked more than comfortable" when he played second in the minors. If Bichette is active and serves as the DH, it would require George Springer to play the outfield. Getting Bichette back in the lineup would be a huge boost to Toronto's lineup, although there could be plenty of rust since he hasn't played in a big-league game since early September.
