NEW YORK — Toronto Blue Jays<\/a> shortstop Bo Bichette<\/a> was not in the lineup for Sunday’s series finale against the New York Yankees<\/a> a day after colliding with Austin Wells<\/a> on a play at the plate.<\/p>\n

Bichette was thrown out in the sixth inning of Saturday’s 3-1 loss by Cody Bellinger<\/a>‘s 95.3 mph one-hop throw from right field when he attempted to score on a single by Nathan Lukes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He hobbled off the field with the assistance of a trainer after colliding with Wells’ shin guard. The game was delayed by rain for nearly two hours and during the delay, X-rays came back negative and Bichette struck out in his final at-bat Saturday.<\/p>\n

“It didn’t look great, but we’re at the point where if you can play, you can play,” manager John Schneider said Saturday. “Bo understands that and everyone understands that. I don’t think it needed stitches or anything but there was a lot going on.”<\/p>\n

Bichette is third in the major leagues with a .311 average. He has 18 homers and leads Toronto with 93 RBI in 139 games this season.<\/p>\n

Bichette also leads the majors with 181 hits and 44 doubles and is hitting .418 (33-for-79) during a 20-game on-base streak.<\/p>\n

Ernie Clement<\/a> started at shortstop for the Blue Jays, who began Sunday with a three-game lead over the Yankees in the AL East.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NEW YORK — Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette was not in the lineup for Sunday’s series finale…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":127015,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[435],"tags":[49,48,462,82],"class_list":["post-127014","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-mlb","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/127014","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=127014"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/127014\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/127015"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=127014"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=127014"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=127014"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
