Bichette (quadriceps) was spotted running sprints at Coors Field on Sunday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old has been out nearly a week with a strained right quadriceps, and his quick return to running is an encouraging sign for his recovery. Bichette is eligible to return from the 10-day injured list Friday, and manager John Schneider previously indicated the shortstop could be ready to be activated at that point.

Bichette was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a right quadriceps strain, retroactive to Aug. 28.
EDGE Analysis
Bichette sat out Monday's contest against Washington after leaving Sunday's matchup with the Guardians due to quad tightness, and he will end up on the injured list after an MRI revealed a strain. It's unclear how long the 25-year-old is expected to be sidelined by the injury, though he won't be eligible to be reinstated until Sept. 8. Mason McCoy was promoted from Triple-A Buffalo in a corresponding move, though it's likely Santiago Espinal or Ernie Clement that will see most of the reps at shortstop while Bichette is out.

Bichette, who is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals, will undergo an MRI on his right quadriceps, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Blue Jays are still viewing Bichette as day-to-day after he exited Sunday's 10-7 loss to the Guardians with right quad tightness, but the MRI will reveal the full extent of the injury while guiding the team how to proceed with the star shortstop. Ernie Clement was called up from Triple-A Buffalo earlier Monday and will replace Bichette at shortstop in the series opener with Washington.

Bichette (quad) is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals, Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bichette left Sunday's game with tightness in his right quad, and he will get at least one day to rest and recover. Ernie Clement will get the start at shortstop in Bichette's place.

The Blue Jays announced that Bichette was removed from Sunday's game against the Guardians due to right quadricep tightness, Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bichette went 0-for-3 on the day and may have suffered the injury in his final at-bat in the bottom of the fifth, when he was slow to get out of the batter's box on a groundout to second base. Santiago Espinal stepped in at shortstop in the next half inning to replace Bichette, who can be viewed as day-to-day heading into Monday's series opener versus the Nationals.

Bichette was removed ahead of the sixth inning of Sunday's game against the Guardians due to an apparent lower-body injury, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports. He went hitless in three at-bats prior to departing.
EDGE Analysis
Though the nature of Bichette's injury isn't yet known, Matheson notes that the shortstop wasn't running close to full speed out of the batter's box while grounding out to second base in the bottom of the fifth inning. Santiago Espinal came off the bench to replace Bichette in the top of the sixth. Expect the Blue Jays to provide an update on Bichette's condition later Sunday.

Bichette went 2-for-5 with a triple, a solo home run and two runs scored in Sunday's 10-3 victory over the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
In only his second game since an 18-day stint on the injured list due to patellar tendinitis in his right knee, Bichette proved his health with a triple in the first. He then homered in the fourth as he extended a modest hit streak to eight games. Bichette holds a .320 batting average, which ranks second in the American League, and raised his league-leading hit total to 147.

Bichette went 1-for-5 with an RBI in Saturday's victory over Cincinnati.
EDGE Analysis
Making his first appearance since July 31, Bichette delivered a run-scoring single that capped off Toronto's three-run rally in the fourth inning. Despite being sidelined for nearly three weeks due to patellar tendinitis in his right knee, the 25-year-old shortstop still leads the American League with 145 hits. As the Blue Jays compete for a wild-card spot, Bichette will undoubtedly play a pivotal role down the stretch.

Bichette (knee) was activated off the injured list as expected Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Bichette has been out since the start of August while dealing with patellar tendinitis in his right knee. He looked very much ready to go in his two rehab appearances, going 4-for-5 with a homer. Paul DeJong was designated for assignment to clear space for Bichette's return.

Bichette (knee) is expected to be back in the Blue Jays' lineup Saturday in Cincinnati, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bichette revealed the news himself while being interviewed after he homered and played shortstop Thursday in his second rehab game with Triple-A Buffalo. He will fly to Cincinnati to join his team Friday, but it sounds like the Jays will wait until Saturday to activate him, or at least put him in the lineup. Bichette has been sidelined since late July because of patellar tendinitis in his right knee.
