As the Blue Jays look to add a significant piece or two prior to Tuesday’s MLB trade deadline, the team is hopeful it won’t have to deal with the subtraction of its best hitter.

That was certainly the early concern on Monday night at the Rogers Centre when star shortstop Bo Bichette exited the game in the third inning with what the team later described as right-knee discomfort.

“(We’re) still gathering information to see what we are going to do next,” manager John Schneider said following his team’s 4-2 loss to the Baltimore Orioles. “In terms of what’s going forward, we’re still figuring that out right now.”

While you can’t read anything into the fact that the Jays aren’t ruling out a serious injury, it was clear there was some concern.

With two out and looking to make something happen by stretching a single into a double, Bichette appeared to take a bad step, then stopped in obvious pain.

Bichette immediately grabbed at his right knee as training staff and Schneider hustled out to the infield to tend to their star player. It was also clear by Bichette’s reaction there was some fear in the moment as to the extent of the injury.

“He’s our best player,” Monday’s starter Chris Bassitt said. “Obviously we’re waiting (to find out his status) a lot more than you guys are.”
