Bo Bichette To Start Rehab Assignment On Tuesday
1 month agoToronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette (calf) ran the bases again on Friday and will remain with the team through the weekend during their series in Atlanta against the Braves, according to manager John Schneider. The plan for Bichette is for him to join Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday to begin a minor-league rehab assignment that should last four or five games. The 26-year-old has been out since right around the All-Star break due to a strained right calf that has been an issue for him this year. Bichette is on track to return to the big-league roster before the end of September, but at this point, it's been a complete bust of a season for the two-time All-Star. Even before his calf injury cropped up, Bichette was underperforming big time at the plate and currently carries a .222/.275/.320 slash line with a career-worst .595 OPS, only four homers, 30 RBI and five steals in 80 games.
