Injured Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette said “I’ll be ready” when asked if he’ll be joining his team for their first World Series appearance since 1993.
Bichette, 27, has missed the Jays’ entire postseason run thus far and hasn’t played since injuring his knee in a collision at home plate against the New York Yankees on Sept. 6.

Ahead of Game 7 of the ALCS, manager John Schneider said Bichette had made “significant progress” in his effort to return to the lineup.
“This is a dream for me to be playing in these games,” Bichette said during Toronto’s celebration in the clubhouse. “But I mean this group is just so, so easy to root for … They played amazing.”
Bichette batted .311 — tied for second in the AL — with 18 home runs, 94 RBIs and an .840 OPS in 139 games, though he was the worst defensive shortstop in the majors as measured by outs above average and defensive runs saved.
Toronto will host the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 1 of the World Series on Friday.
