Blue Jays Play the Waiting Game with Injured Bichette, Bassitt
Bo Bichette's knee injury status remains uncertain while rookie Trey Yesavage joins the roster with a 3.21 ERA, as the Blue Jays prepare for the ALDS opener.
- On Saturday, the Toronto Blue Jays will open the ALDS at Rogers Centre, releasing their 26-man roster after intrasquad games to prepare for Game 1.
- Bo Bichette, the Blue Jays' shortstop, has missed the final 20 games with a left knee sprain, is playing catch with a brace but not running, and Ross Atkins said his return remains uncertain until Friday.
- On the pitching front, Jose Berríos remains sidelined but could return later, while rookie starter Trey Yesavage is on the ALDS roster after 14.0 innings and Chris Bassitt is progressing from back inflammation.
- Manager John Schneider must decide how to deploy Bo Bichette, whose return would boost offence, while cautious use of Trey Yesavage is praised by Schneider and Ross Atkins.
- If the Jays advance, the ALCS would begin on Oct. 12 in Toronto, which would buy injured players more recovery time as Jose Berríos likely won't be fully healthy until at least the league championship series.
