The Toronto Blue Jays are set to take on the Texas Rangers tonight for the final game of the series and have announced that Bo Bichette has gone down with an injury and will not play tonight.
The Blue Jays cannot seem to catch a break this season when it comes to injuries as it seems like some big pieces of their lineup are missing and now Bichette has gone down too.

This is not a good sign for the Blue Jays even though they are making it seem like the injury is nothing too serious as of right now, they said the same about Andres Gimenez and Max Scherzer when they first went down.
Bichette is a big part of the Blue Jays lineup and they simply cannot afford to have him out long term.
