Blue Jays reveal why Bo Bichette was left off ALDS roster

The Blue Jays announced a few surprised when they announced their ALDS roster this morning as a few players such as Max Scherzer, Chris Bassitt and Bichette were missing.

Bichette was doubtful to make the roster over the last few days as manager John Schneider stated that they would not waste a roster spot on him if he was only able to pinch hit.

The roster was released earlier this morning with what most fans expected from it as there was no real big surprises apart from Scherzer and Bassitt.

It looks like when it comes to Bichette, his knee is still not in good enough shape to play and the earliest he can now come back is in the American League Championship Series if the Blue Jays get past the Yankees.

Bichette's teammates will certainly need to pick up the slack when it comes to the offense since missing him in the lineup against a stacked Yankees roster will certainly be felt.

However, Toronto was without Bichette for the majority of Septemeber and still managed to win some very big games which hopefully they can reciprocate this post-season.

The Yankees and Blue Jays kick things off this afternoon at 4:08 PM.
