TORONTO – Bo Bichette’s status for the American League Championship Series remains clouded after he attempted to run the bases Saturday for the first time since spraining his left knee last month, and walked off the field in apparent discomfort.

The star Toronto Blue Jays shortstop led off from first base, took off for second and grimaced after rounding the bag before pulling up. He walked over to third base where Blue Jays bench coach Don Mattingly, first base coach Mark Budzinski, medical director Andrew Pipkin and strength and conditioning coach Scott Weberg were overseeing his running and dropped to the turf.

The group conferred for a couple minutes before Bichette, visibly frustrated, walked off the field gingerly.
