Blue Jays: Why was Bo Bichette allowed to stay in the game?

A nightmare scenario played out for Blue Jays fans last night as Bo Bichette was struck on the helmet by an errant fastball in the sixth inning. Thankfully he popped up to his feet and indicated that he was okay almost immediately, and it looked like he avoided what could have been a serious injury.

The Blue Jays’ training staff came out to check up on him and had a short conversation and Bichette was allowed to stay in the game and run for himself. After playing defence as well, it was decided that he would come out of the game to undergo further concussion testing, more to be on the safe side.
