Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette is pushing to make it back for the postseason from a sprained PCL in his left knee.
Manager John Schneider maintained Bichette could be on the playoff roster, but hasn’t committed to playing him when the Blue Jays begin their postseason in the American League Division Series on Saturday in Toronto.
By winning the AL East, the Blue Jays were able to buy Bichette part of an extra week to rehab from the Sept. 6 injury.
Bichette, 27, would not have been on the Blue Jays’ wild-card roster.
Schneider admitted he was more optimistic about Bichette’s return after the Blue Jays claimed the division crown and a bye during the wild-card round this week.
