"Bo Bichette will be back in the lineup for the Toronto Blue Jays for Game 3 of the World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday night. He's expected to start at second base, a position he played for the first time in the majors during Game 1. In his first game back after a knee sprain on September 6, Bichette went 1-for-2 with a walk. Isaiah Kiner-Falefa replaced Bichette as a pinch-runner in the sixth inning."
"The Blue Jays' offence had no answer for Yoshinobu Yamamoto in Game 2. After tying the game at 1-1 in the third inning, the Blue Jays were retired in order for the remainder of the game. Toronto's offence couldn't find a spark. The Blue Jays did make plenty of contact, but only managed four hits. That's including a pop fly by Ernie Clement in the second inning, which Freddie Freeman missed catching."
"Bichette was not included in the lineup for Saturday night's 5-1 loss in Game 2. He did enter the game as a pinch-hitter in the seventh inning, but grounded out in the final play of the inning. While Bichette's only at-bat on Saturday resulted in an out, Game 2 made it clear how important he is to the Blue Jays in their quest for their first World Series victory in 32 years."
