Bo Bichette Out on Wednesday With Back Tightness
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.
