"Bichette, 27, only pinch hit in Game 2 after starting Game 1 at second, but Schneider indicated the former All-Star is ready to go as the series shifts to Los Angeles for Games 3, 4 and 5. "Expecting him to be in there," Schneider said on Sunday. "He's out here working out. Felt good coming out of yesterday [Game 2]. I think with each day that goes on, he'll probably get as close to normal as he can at this stage of the year.""
""It was a little bit different," Gimenez said. "I remember spring training we were talking about -- just have the communication just to play next to each other, and now we are having the same conversations playing next to each other on the opposite side. "I'm just happy to see Bo come back. I know how hard he's been working in the training room and the weight room just to get back at this point.""
Bo Bichette is expected to start at second base for Game 3 of the World Series as the series moves to Los Angeles. Bichette started Game 1, went 1 for 2 with a walk, and left early during the blowout win. He only pinch-hit and played the final two innings in Game 2 while Andres Gimenez remained at shortstop after Bichette injured his left knee in early September. Manager John Schneider said Bichette worked out and felt good, calling his progress a good sign. Gimenez emphasized communication and expressed happiness about Bichette's return.
