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

The Toronto Blue Jays placed shortstop Bo Bichette (calf) on the 10-day injured list on Saturday with a right-calf strain and recalled rookie outfielder Addison Barger from Triple-A Buffalo in a corresponding move. Bichette missed the final four games of the first half of the season due to a calf injury and then strained his right calf in the second-half opener on Friday night against the Detroit Tigers. There's a good chance now that the 26-year-old will miss more than the 10 days on the injured list, and he's unlikely to be dealt before the July 30 trade deadline as well. Leo Jimenez replaced Bichette on Friday night at the 6 and will likely become the team's top option at the position moving forward. Bichette shouldn't be outrighted dropped in fantasy leagues, but he's been one of the most disappointing players in all of baseball this year, hitting just .223/.276/.321 with four homers, 30 RBI and five steals in 305 at-bats after making his second All-Star appearance in 2023.

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette (leg) left Friday night's game early after coming up limping during a lineout in the bottom of the sixth inning. He was replaced by Leo Jimenez in the top of the seventh. Bichette was seen grabbing at his right leg as he ran down the first base line, a sign that it may be related to his recent right-calf strain that forced him to miss the final four games before the All-Star break. The team has not stated anything else in regards to Bichette's injury, but a clearer picture on Bichette's health should be announced by the team after they conclude their game against the Detroit Tigers on Friday night. Fantasy managers will certainly be holding their breath on the 26-year-old's status, especially since he's already been forced to miss time. Should Bichette be out for a lengthy absence, fantasy managers should expect Jimenez to continue to get starts. Jimenez has eight hits in 22 at-bats during the 2024 season for a .936 OPS.UPDATE: Bichette was removed with a right-calf strain.

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette (calf) is back at shortstop and is hitting fifth in the batting order on Friday in the first game of the second half of the season versus the visiting Detroit Tigers and right-hander Jack Flaherty. Fantasy managers have to be happy to see Bichette back in action after he missed the final four games of the first half due to a right-calf strain. After a terrible first half, hopefully the 26-year-old will be able to turn things around in the second half, although it will be a tough first matchup in his return. Bichette does have a .400 average with a .900 OPS against Flaherty in his career, but only in five at-bats. The former second-round pick in 2016 was one of the biggest disappointments in the first half for fantasy managers, hitting just .222/.275/.321 with four homers, 30 RBI and five stolen bases in 302 at-bats.

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette (calf) remains out of the starting lineup for a series opener against the hosting Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday. Rookie Leo Jimenez will take over at shortstop again and bat ninth for Toronto against Diamondbacks right-hander Ryne Nelson. Bichette is officially dealing with a fascia strain in his right calf that he suffered on Wednesday and will miss his second straight game. The 26-year-old went to the injured list earlier this year with an injury to the same calf, so with the All-Star break coming next week, it wouldn't be a surprise if he sat out the rest of the weekend. In addition to the calf injury, Bichette has been one of the biggest disappointments in all of baseball in 2024. Jimenez will be playing in just his sixth major-league game on Friday, although he's gone 5-for-14 (.357) with a double and RBI in his first five games.

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette (calf) is out of the team's starting lineup for Thursday's series finale against the hosting San Francisco Giants after being pulled from Wednesday's contest early with right-calf soreness. Bichette's frustrating 2024 season continues. The Blue Jays are on the verge of being sellers at this year's trade deadline, but the fact that the 26-year-old is now hurt and has been slumping all season could mean that Toronto will hang onto him and trade him in the offseason or next summer. His calf injury doesn't appear to be very serious, but it's something to watch after he landed on the injured list back in June with a strain of the same calf muscle. With Bichette out in San Fran, Leo Jimenez will man the 6 and bat in the nine-hole for the Jays against Giants right-hander Jordan Hicks.UPDATE: Bichette has a right-calf fascia strain, according to manager John Schneider. The team is considering it day-to-day for now, but a player will likely join them for the weekend series in Arizona just in case.
