John Schneider gives injury update on Bo Bichette after he misses Yankees game

John Schneider gives injury update on Bo Bichette
The Blue Jays ended up with a tough series loss to the Yankees yesterday after falling to them 4-3 in the final game of the series.
After the game, Schneider spoke to the media stating that that Bichette missed the final game of the series because he was sore but added that he would not be taking any additional testing and they will see how he feels for Tuesday game.
"He's sore," -Schneider
"He woke up a little more sore," Schneider added, according to Chisholm. "So it's a timely off day for him and we'll see how he is Tuesday. Nothing additional, no further testing or anything." -Schneider
This is good news that Bichette does not seem to have any fractures after all but at the same time it does not seem like he is a guarantee to play the Houston Astros tomorrow.
Hopefully, Bichette truly is just a little sore and they want to give him a few extra days off to recover from the collision but they certainly need him back as soon as possible.
Bichette along with George Springer has arguably been the two best players for the Blue Jays this season when it comes to offense as Bichette leads the MLB in hits.
So far this season, Bichette has a league leading 181 hits with 18 homeruns, 93 RBIs, a .311 batting average and .357 on base percentage all in a total of 139 games on the season.
The Blue Jays still have first place secured for now despite the loss to the Yankees but will need to finish over .500 from now until the end if they plan on holding onto first place for the end of the season.
