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

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette (neck) is out of the lineup on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Rays due to neck spasms. With the two-time All-Star unavailable, Ernie Clement will start at shortstop and bat sixth. Bichette should hopefully return to the lineup for Monday's clash with the Houston Astros, but it is a situation worth monitoring for fantasy managers. The 26-year-old has gone 2-for-12 with no home runs and two RBI to kick off the 2024 campaign. Ensure Bichette is out of lineups ahead of Sunday's action.

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette hit his first homer of the spring in a 10-9 Grapefruit League loss to the Yankees on Saturday. The 26-year-old is having a productive spring, hitting .410 (16-for-39) with six RBI, nine runs scored, and two stolen bases. The 1:7 BB:K is a little eye-opening, although the walk rate is not overly surprising for a hitter with a career 5.5% BB%. While Bichette hasn't been blasting home runs in bunches this spring, he does have four doubles included in his 16 hits. The 2x All-Star had a good, albeit somewhat disappointing 2023 stats-wise, but he'll be a top option at shortstop again in 2024. RotoBaller ranks Bichette at 31 overall, ahead of his NFBC ADP of 38.

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette took a longer break than normal from baseball activities to reset after the 2023 season. He also trained in other ways, taking up swimming, pilates and Muay Thai. Bichette is happy with the shape he's in at camp as a result and said he's "in a good place to play every day." The 25-year-old missed 25 games with right patellar tendinitis and a right quadriceps strain late last year, so he focused specifically on his right leg and took a holistic approach to his offseason training. Bichette made his second All-Star team in 2023, and despite stealing only five bases, he was one of the better hitters in the game with a .306/.339/.475 slash line with an .814 OPS, 20 homers and 73 RBI in 135 games. In a strong Toronto lineup, he's one of the top fantasy shortstops and is ranked No. 6 at the position by RotoBaller.
