TORONTO (AP) — The Toronto Blue Jays may activate shortstop Bo Bichette for the World Series against the defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers after the two-time All-Star made strides in recovering from a sprained left knee that has sidelined him for 1 1/2 months.

Bichette, a two-time AL hits leader, hasn’t played since he sprained his left knee in a Sept. 6 collision with New York Yankees catcher Austin Wells .

“After our workout today there’ll be a lot more understanding of where I stand,” Bichette said Thursday, a day ahead of the opener. “I’m just trying to do everything I can to be ready for whatever I’m physically capable of doing.”

Bichette was second in the major leagues to the Yankees’ Aaron Judge with a .311 batting average, hitting 18 homers with 94 RBIs in 139 games.
