The Toronto Blue Jays activated star shortstop Bo Bichette off the injured list ahead of Saturday's game against the Cincinnati Reds, but the corresponding roster move came as a fairly large surprise.
Toronto opted to designate shortstop Paul DeJong for assignment less than three weeks after acquiring him from the St. Louis Cardinals at the MLB trade deadline.
DeJong struggled mightily during his brief stint with the Blue Jays, going 3-for-44 at the plate over 13 games. The 30-year-old struck out 18 times over those 44 at-bats.
