Blue Jays' Bo Bichette leaves game vs. Guardians with quad tightness

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette left Sunday's game against the Cleveland Guardians in the top of the sixth inning due to right quad tightness, the team announced.

Bichette did not take the field to play defence in the sixth after grounding out in the bottom of the fifth. He jogged gingerly to first base on the play.

Santiago Espinal replaced Bichette at shortstop and in the No. 1 spot in the batting order.

Bichette returned from the injured list on Aug. 19 after suffering a knee injury on July 31. It's unclear whether the quad issue is related to his previous ailment.
