Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette's left knee is one of the biggest stories in baseball leading into game 3 of the American League Championship Series.
Bichette resumed his rehab regimen at T-Mobile park on Wednesday. He was doing crossovers and light running as you can see in the Video below from Lindsay Dunn.
You can also see Bichette playing with Blue Jays manager John Schneider's son Gunnar on the field in a wholesome moment.
Bichette update:
Bichette as a designated hitter is still better than no Bo at all
Let's face it, if Bichette does make it back into the fold, he can only return as a DH.
His bat is worth the challenge of putting together the puzzle elsewhere, because even though the Blue Jays are coming off an all-time offensive performance in the ALDS, their bats have gone ice cold in the first two games of the ALCS.
Having Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Bichette in the three-four spots is still their best shot at winning a World Series.
If Bichette's a DH, that means George Springer is an outfielder, something he has done just nine times since the beginning of August.
Depending on matchups, this would bump Anthony Santander to the bench.
It also feels difficult to envision the Blue Jays being comfortable with an outfield defense of Lukes and Springer on either side of Daulton Varsho.
All of this would still necessitate Myles Straw being on the roster as a late-game defensive replacement, so Bichette would likely bump out Isiah Kiner-Falefa.
The Blue Jays need Bichette. Bichette deserves a shot at this, too, in what could be his final days with the organization.
It's complicated, though, and the Bichette decision would send a few dominoes toppling.
