The Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Dodgers head into Game 3 of the World Series tied at one game apiece, with the Blue Jays set to welcome back an important player to their starting lineup.
Bo Bichette, who had been sidelined with a knee sprain, is expected to start at second base in Game 3. His return is a welcome boost for Toronto as they aim to regain momentum on the road against Tyler Glasnow, the Dodgers’ starting pitcher.
Manager John Schneider confirmed that Bichette, who made a brief appearance in Game 1, will be back in the starting lineup, playing an unfamiliar role at second base. The Blue Jays’ lineup for Game 3 is likely to mirror the one from Game 1, featuring key players like Alejandro Kirk, Daulton Varsho, and Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
On the mound, the Blue Jays will rely on veteran pitcher Max Scherzer, known for his impressive postseason performances. Scherzer, who previously played for the Dodgers, will face Glasnow, whose pitching prowess presents a challenge for Toronto hitters.
Glasnow, with his dominant performance this postseason, poses a threat to Toronto’s offense. Patience and strategic at-bats will be crucial for the Blue Jays to succeed against him and potentially disrupt the Dodgers’ bullpen early in the game.
