Toronto Blue Jays manager John Schneider spoke to the media this afternoon on the progress of shortstop Bo Bichette.
Bichette is set to take a step forward as he works towards a potential post-season return with the Toronto Blue Jays.
The shortstop joined the team in Kansas City for its three-game series against the Royals and began hitting again off a tee on Friday, manager John Schneider said during an appearance on Sportsnet's Blair & Barker.
Toronto Blue Jays manager John Schneider optimistic about an eventual return for Bo Bichette
Bo Bichette is «feeling better every day», John Schneider says, and started light hitting today.
Still plenty of things to check off as he builds up to running the bases and playing defence, but it's a start.

"He's feeling better, and I think (it's) a step in the right direction, obviously, getting a bat back in his hands," Schneider said.
Bichette, of course, was ruled out for the remainder of the regular season earlier this week due to a PCL sprain in his left knee.
Bo Bichette started hitting today - starting his hopeful return for the playoffs:
«This was our initial goal, something like end of this week. Start doing some stuff and then see where the next week takes you and how aggressive you can be. So he was excited to start.»
The 27-year-old was in the midst of a resurgent season at the plate, slashing .311/.357/.483 through 139 games while leading MLB in hits and doubles.
He will stay with the Blue Jays through the weekend and travel with the team back to Toronto on Sunday night.
