Injured Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette mentioned “I will be prepared” when requested if he’ll be becoming a member of his staff for its first World Sequence look since 1993.
Bichette, 27, hasn’t performed since injuring his knee in a collision at house plate towards the New York Yankees on Sept. 6.
“It is a dream for me to be enjoying in these video games,” Bichette mentioned throughout Toronto’s clubhouse celebration after its 4-3 win over the Mariners in Recreation 7 of the AL Championship Sequence on Monday evening. “However I imply this group is simply so, really easy to root for. … They performed superb.”
Forward of Recreation 7, Blue Jays supervisor John Schneider mentioned Bichette had made “important progress” in his rehab.
Bichette batted .311 — tied for second within the AL — with 18 house runs, 94 RBIs and an .840 OPS in 139 video games, although he was the worst defensive shortstop within the majors as measured by outs above common and defensive runs saved.
Toronto will host the Los Angeles Dodgers in Recreation 1 of the World Sequence on Friday.
