Clearly it seems like Schneider and the Blue Jays are hopeful but at the same time know that there is no certainty on when he will be back until he begins his rehab process and they see how he feels.
If the Blue Jays can find a way to at least get Bichette back as a designated hitter, it would be great for there offense since he has been one of their best hitters this season.
It terms of defense, having Andres Gimenez at shortstop instead of Bichette might actually benefit the team since he is a much better defender which has been on full display since he moved over.
