Blue Jays Weigh Bo Bichette Position Change for World Series Return

The Toronto Blue Jays are preparing to activate Bo Bichette for the World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers after he recovered from a left knee PCL sprain that sidelined him since early September. Bichette, a two-time All-Star and the team's primary shortstop, has missed 31 consecutive games but has been working through workouts and is expected to be ready, although his exact role remains uncertain. The Blue Jays are considering a positional change for Bichette, potentially moving him to second base, a position he hasn't played in the major leagues but has minor league experience with, or using him as the designated hitter to ease the physical demands on his knee. Manager John Schneider emphasized that all options—shortstop, second base, and DH—are on the table, with Andres Gimenez likely to remain at shortstop if Bichette moves positions. Bichette's return is seen as a major boost to the Blue Jays' offense, especially as the team seeks its first World Series title since 1993. With Bichette entering unrestricted free agency this offseason, his performance in the World Series could impact his future with the club.
