what happened to bo bichette

Bo Bichette, the Toronto Blue Jays' franchise shortstop, suffered a knee sprain near the end of the 2025 regular season during a collision at home plate against the New York Yankees on September 6. This injury forced him out of the lineup for the American League Division Series (ALDS) against the Yankees, as he had not yet progressed to running or hitting against velocity in his rehabilitation. Despite his absence, the Blue Jays have performed well in the playoffs, but Bichette remains in Toronto continuing his recovery with an uncertain timeline for return. He was leading Major League Baseball in hits before the injury and had a strong 2025 season with career highs in batting average (.311), on-base percentage (.357), and other offensive metrics. The Blue Jays and fans are hopeful for his return if the team advances to the American League Championship Series or World Series, but he is not yet expected to play soon.
