The post Blue Jays\u2019 Bo Bichette gets major outlook for crucial World Series Game 3 vs. Dodgers<\/a> appeared first on ClutchPoints<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Heading into the 2025 World Series, Bo Bichette<\/a> was on the mend for the Toronto Blue Jays<\/a> as he worked to recover from a knee sprain that has kept him out for over a month. But immediately after the Blue Jays dispatched of the Seattle Mariners in the ALCS, Bichette declared that he\u2019d be returning against the Los Angeles Dodgers. That\u2019s exactly what he did, as he started the Blue Jays\u2019 11-4 win<\/a> in Game 1 of the World Series, going 1-2 from the plate with one walk before Isiah Kiner-Falefa pinch ran for him.<\/p>\n

Bichette, however, is still being handled by the Blue Jays with kid gloves. He was out of the starting lineup for Game 2,<\/a> with Kiner-Falefa starting instead, and he ended up just pinch-hitting for him in the seventh inning. Perhaps Toronto is still wary of his injury-ravaged knee and was simply reluctant to throw him immediately into the fire of two high-stakes games.<\/p>\n

But in Game 3, the Blue Jays are not going to play it cute. Manager John Schneider<\/a> revealed that it\u2019s Bichette who\u2019s going to be starting for the team at second base on Monday as Toronto looks to regain control<\/a> of the series, as per Arden Zwelling of MLB.com.<\/p>\n

Bichette, for what it\u2019s worth, is the team\u2019s regular starter at shortstop, so him being at second base is already a sign that the Blue Jays are bringing him along slowly. But when the stakes are this high, especially against a Dodgers side with perhaps the deepest starting rotation in MLB, they cannot afford to let Bichette\u2019s bat go to waste<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Barring anything unforeseen, the Blue Jays will be facing Tyler Glasnow to start off Game 3 against the Dodgers, while they\u2019ll be relying on Max Scherzer to at least give them a few quality innings.<\/p>\n

The key for the Blue Jays in the World Series is to get to the Dodgers\u2019 bullpen. In Game 1, they did well to chase Blake Snell out of the game after scoring five runs off of him. After they did, they scored six more \u2014 with LA\u2019s bullpen proving to be as unreliable as ever.<\/p>\n

But in Game 2, the Dodgers got another complete game from Yamamoto. The Blue Jays have to make sure that they don\u2019t let Glasnow get into a groove and force manager Dave Roberts\u2019 hand if they were to win Game 3 on Monday night.<\/p>\n
