The Toronto Blue Jays are testing out a change for All-Star shortstop Bo Bichette ahead of their World Series matchup against the Dodgers on Friday.
Bichette has missed the last seven weeks on the injured list with a left knee injury, and could make his return for the Blue Jays in the Fall Classic. The Blue Jays, rather than having him practice at shortstop, had him taking ground balls at second base on Wednesday. Bichette has been one of the worst defensive shortstops in MLB this season — posting a minus-10 fielding run value — and a move to a less taxing position could be favorable for the Blue Jays.
