#BlueJays — Keegan Matheson (@KeeganMatheson) September 9, 2025Several Blue Jays reporters tweeted out on Tuesday afternoon that Bichette's time on the IL will be retroactive to September 7. The timing of the injury couldn't be worse for the Blue Jays and the 27-year-old. That is the highest AVG in September in Blue Jays history (min 400 PA).#LightsUpLetsGo pic.twitter.com/yEXpCKxutw — Sportsnet Stats (@SNstats) September 5, 2025In his absence the Blue Jays have recalled Joey Loperfido. The left-handed hitting outfielder had a great cameo for the Blue Jays in the middle of the season. How that pays off for the Blue Jays in this scenario remains to be seen, but if the Blue Jays can get the same productive Loperfido into the lineup, it will lessen the sting somewhat of losing Bichette.
