Toronto Blue Jays’ Bo Bichette to Start Game 1 on Bench
In a surprising move, Bo Bichette, the talented infielder for the Toronto Blue Jays, will be on the bench at the start of Game 2 of the World Series. The Blue Jays have opted not to include him in the starting lineup for their upcoming game against the Dodgers.
Bichette recently made his postseason debut in Game 1, showcasing his skills at second base, a position he had not played before. Despite a knee sprain suffered earlier in the season, Bichette managed to impress with a hit and a walk in his return to the plate.
Replacing Bichette at second base will be Isaih Kiner-Falefa, who is set to bat eighth in the lineup. Meanwhile, outfielders Addison Barger and Nathan Lukes will be starting after serving as pinch-hitters in the previous game.
On the pitching front, Chris Bassitt is dealing with a minor cut and blister but is still available if needed for Game 2.
