Blue Jays: Season over for Bo Bichette | Jonatan Clase recalled

Blue Jays lose key player

The Toronto Blue Jays have lost one of their most important players for the rest of the 2023 season. Shortstop Bo Bichette suffered a dislocated shoulder making a diving stop in the first inning of Friday night's game against the Texas Rangers.

Bichette was aiming to field a ground ball hit by Bubba Thompson. The young infielder dove to his right and fielded the ball, but the awkward angle caused his shoulder to pop out. Bichette immediately fell to the ground in pain. He received medical attention for several minutes before being helped off the field.

Conclusion

The loss of Bichette is a big blow to the Blue Jays. The Blue Jays are now 35-31 this season and are struggling to stay in contention in the AL East. Cavan Biggio replaced Bichette at shortstop in Friday night's game. However, the Blue Jays also called up infielder Jonatan Clase from Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday to provide some infield depth down the stretch.
