The Toronto Blue Jays provided an update on shortstop Bo Bichette's leg injury following the rain delay at Yankees stadium.
During the sixth inning, Bichette slid into home plate in an attempt to score a run, but he was met with a forceful collision against New York's catcher Austin Wells.
Following the play, Bichette was seen limping off field while clinging onto the lower part of his left leg.
He received assistance coming off the field by Isiah Kiner-Falefa. And the training staff helped him as he went back to the dugout and then down the steps for further evaluation.
Judging by Bichette's reaction and the way he came up limping it appears to be a lower leg injury.
Here's the play that Bo Bichette was injured on.
He was holding his left shin and lower leg coming off. It doesn't look like anything buckled or got rolled over (more of a collision), but we'll wait and see the initial wording from the #BlueJays

Bo Bichette just jogged onto the field to warmup before the #BlueJays game resumes. Doesn't appear to have a limp.
It's difficult to overstate just how important Bichette is to the Blue Jays and their postseason hopes.
Now batting .312, Bichette trails only the A's Jacob Wilson (.314) and the Yankees' Aaron Judge (.322) for the American League batting title.
He has hit 18 home runs, raised his OPS to .841 and has done it in all the right moments.
If anyone on this roster looks primed for a dominant run down the stretch and into October, it's Bichette.
