TAMPA -- Bo Bichette is in Dallas getting a second opinion on the sprained PCL in his left knee, manager John Schneider shared Monday, the first major update since the Blue Jays’ star shortstop landed on the IL last week.
Schneider reiterated that this was more of a follow-up meeting to Bichette’s original diagnosis, not the reaction to anything “new” or worse in his knee. With just two weeks left in the season, though, the clock is ticking on Bichette and Monday’s update doesn’t reignite any optimism in his timeline for returning to the lineup.
“He’s in the best spirits that he can be. We’re just doing our due diligence,” Schneider said. “He was feeling probably better than what an MRI showed, so I think that getting through this appointment will give more clarity to him and to us. Ho
