Bo Bichette's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette (calf), who had been rehabbing at the club's Player Development Complex in Dunedin, Florida, was reunited with his team in Boston ahead of Tuesday's game against the Red Sox. Bichette is continuing to ramp up from a second right calf strain this season that he suffered on July 19, throwing from distance and taking direct grounders prior to the contest against Boston. Manager John Schneider said that Bichette will remain with the Blue Jays through the end of their road trip between Boston and Minneapolis, and that his next step will be running the bases, which Toronto expects to happen in the next few days. The 26-year-old star infielder is going to need a minor-league rehab assignment before returning to the major leagues for the stretch run, but fantasy managers can expect to have Bichette back potentially in early-to-mid September.

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette (calf) has started running at the team's spring training complex in Dunedin, Fla., according to manager John Schneider. Bichette will join the Blue Jays at Fenway Park and stick with them through their road trip as he works his way towards a minor-league rehab assignment. Running full speed and running the bases will likely be the last couple boxes Bichette needs to check before getting the green light for a rehab assignment. The 26-year-old began hitting and fielding recently as well as he works his way back from a strained right calf that landed him on the injured list to begin the second half of the season. Bichette won't rejoin the big-league squad until early September, at which point he'll have limited time to turn around what has been one of the most disappointing seasons for a high-end fantasy name. Rookie Leo Jimenez has been seeing most of the starts at the 6 in Bichette's absence.

The Toronto Blue Jays expect shortstop Bo Bichette (calf) to start running in the next two to three days, according to manager John Schneider. Bichette is already doing some hitting and defensive drills at the team's spring training complex in Dunedin, Fla. Once the 26-year-old is able to run the bases successfully, he's likely to be sent out on a minor-league rehab assignment. Calf issues have slowed Bichette down this year, and he's been on the 10-day injured list since late July. He should have a good chance of returning to the Blue Jays before the end of August, though, barring a setback once he begins running or on his rehab assignment. Since his injury, Leo Jimenez has been the team's light-hitting replacement for Bichette at the 6. Bitchette himself has been one of the biggest disappointments in 2024 in all of baseball, hitting .223 (68-for-305) with only four homers, 30 RBI and five stolen bases.

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette (calf) has started to do some baseball activities at the team's spring training complex in Dunedin, Fla., according to manager John Schneider. Bichette will likely ramp up in Florida for a while and then check back in with the Blue Jays to evaluate a minor-league rehab assignment. It's nice to see the 26-year-old making progress, but at this rate, he's unlikely to rejoin the big-league squad until September, especially with the Blue Jays having little to play for. Right-calf issues have sidelined Bichette this year, and he's also hit a very disappointing .223/.276/.321 with just four home runs, 30 RBI and five stolen bases in 305 at-bats. The former second-rounder should remain stashed everywhere, but he's running out of time to help in fantasy. Rookie Leo Jimenez should continue to serve as the primary shortstop for Toronto.

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette (calf) rejoined the team in Toronto on Friday for the series opener against the visiting Oakland Athletics at the Rogers Centre after spending the previous few weeks rehabbing in Florida. The club is hopeful that Bichette will return to baseball activities within a week, and both sides would "take it week-to-week" from that point on. Before there's a concrete timeline for his return to the Jays, Bichette will need to start hitting and throwing, but fantasy managers can expect to have him back for the stretch run potentially in late August for now. It's been a down year for the 26-year-old two-time All-Star, who was really struggling at the plate before going on the injured list due to a strained right calf. In his last 27 games, Bichette is slashing .167/.232/.235 with no home runs, five RBI, and one stolen base in 112 plate appearances. Leo Jimenez is currently Toronto's primary shortstop.
