Jul 19, 2024; Toronto, Ontario, CAN; Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette (11) reacts as he suffers a lower body injury as he runs to first base during the sixth inning against the Detroit Tigers at Rogers Centre. Mandatory Credit: John E. Sokolowski-USA TODAY Sports Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette departed Friday night's 5-4 loss to the visiting Detroit Tigers due to a strained right calf.
Blue Jays manager John Schneider said afterward that Bichette was getting an MRI exam.
Bichette, a two-time All-Star, was injured while running to first base after he lined out to right field to end the sixth inning. He was 1-for-3 before exiting.
Leo Jimenez replaced Bichette at shortstop.
This is the third time Bichette has injured the right calf this season. Friday's game marked his return from a four-game absence due to calf soreness.
Bichette, 26, spent time on the 10-day injured list in June due to his first calf injury. He missed nine games on that occasion.
Bichette is batting a career-worst .223 this season. He has four homers and 30 RBIS in 79 games.
