TORONTO -- Bo Bichette is not on the Blue Jays’ ALCS roster that was announced on Sunday, leaving a potential World Series as his last shot.
Bichette has been rehabbing from a left knee sprain that’s kept him out for over five weeks, and while there was some optimism growing in recent days as he started running again, it was clear that Bichette was experiencing discomfort Saturday when he tried to run the bases at Rogers Centre.
Not only is Bichette one of the Blue Jays’ most important hitters, he’s also in the final year of his deal after spending nearly a decade with the organization, a 2016 second-rounder out of high school who has grown into an All-Star. He’s also one of Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s closest friends, the two of them going back to the lower levels of the Minor Leagues t
