The Toronto Blue Jays have placed All-Star shortstop Bo Bichette on the 10-day injured list with a calf strain. Bichette has been linked to the Los Angeles Dodgers as a potential trade deadline acquisition.
Bichette, 26, is having a down year after two All-Star campaigns in the last three seasons. In 66 games, the right-handed shortstop is slashing .237/.286/.342 with four home runs and 28 runs batted in. His .629 OPS would be by far the lowest of his career, as he’s never had an OPS below .800.
Bichette could end up being one of the best players available at this year’s trade deadline if the Blue Jays elect to sell.
