Blue Jays star SS Bo Bichette (shin) not in lineup vs. Yankees

Toronto Blue Jays star shortstop Bo Bichette wasn't part of Sunday's starting lineup against the New York Yankees after sustaining a left shin injury one day earlier.

Bichette was injured in a play at the plate in the sixth inning when he collided with New York catcher Austin Wells. Bichette was out on the play.

A rain delay lasting nearly two hours ensued and Bichette returned to finish the 3-1 loss. His shin was cut up and X-rays came back negative.

But the two-time All-Star was experiencing soreness Sunday and kept out of the lineup. Ernie Clement started in his place for Toronto, which entered the day with a three-game lead over the Yankees in the American League East.

Bichette, 27, has reached base in 20 consecutive games and ranks third in the majors with a .311 batting average. He has 18 homers and 93 RBIs in 139 games and leads the majors with 181 hits and 44 doubles.
