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.
