Bichette to Undergo MRI for Calf Strain as Blue Jays' Spring Training Continues

Blue Jays' Infielder Experiences Discomfort

Toronto Blue Jays' shortstop Bo Bichette will undergo an MRI on his right calf after experiencing tightness during a recent spring training game. The news comes as a setback for the team, who are preparing for the upcoming season. Bichette is an integral part of the Blue Jays' lineup and his absence could be a significant blow.

The injury occurred during the Blue Jays' spring training game against the Braves on Saturday, February 25th. Bichette left the game after just three innings and was diagnosed with a calf strain. The MRI is expected to provide more details on the extent of the injury and the expected recovery timeline.

Spring Training Schedule Unaffected

Despite the injury to Bichette, the Blue Jays' spring training schedule remains unaffected. The team's upcoming game against the Phillies on Monday, February 27th, will continue as planned. The Blue Jays have several other key players in camp, including Vladimir Guerrero Jr., George Springer, and Hyun Jin Ryu, and they will look to these players to step up in Bichette's absence.

The Toronto Blue Jays are scheduled to open their regular season on March 30th against the Baltimore Orioles. The team has high expectations this season and will be hoping that Bichette can recover from his calf strain in time to make a significant contribution.
