Bo Bichette (thumb) sits, Brandon Belt returns in Jays' win

MIAMI -- Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette was a late scratch for Toronto's series finale against the Miami Marlins on Wednesday because of left thumb discomfort.

Second baseman Cavan Biggio took Bichette's spot in the lineup batting sixth and went 2 for 4. Biggio had an RBI double during a five-run second inning against Miami starter Sandy Alcantara that put the Blue Jays ahead 5-0. They held on to win 6-3.

The 25-year-old Bichette leads the American League in hits with 101 and played in Toronto's first 75 games this season.
