El campocorto de los Jays, Bichette, se someterá a una cirugía en el dedo.

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette, scheduled to undergo surgery Wednesday, will repair a right middle finger fracture. The season-ending injury occurred last week during infield practice. Blue Jays manager John Schneider mentioned addressing a «little displacement» in the procedure, aiming to ensure proper healing with a pin placement. Bichette consulted a hand specialist in Arizona before returning to Toronto this weekend. The last-place Blue Jays will conclude their regular season Sunday against the Miami Marlins.

Schneider did not provide a definitive timeline for Bichette’s recovery but anticipated his readiness for spring training. This marks another setback in Bichette’s injury-plagued season, with previous stints on the injured list due to a right calf strain. Despite the challenges, Bichette made a notable return to the lineup on September 17, contributing two hits in a game against the Texas Rangers before sustaining the finger injury the following day.

Throughout the season, Bichette recorded four home runs, 31 RBIs, a .225 batting average, and a .322 slugging percentage in 81 games. The Canadian Press initially published this report on September 25, 2024.
