Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette helped the team rout the St. Louis Cardinals 10-3 on Tuesday. He went 2-for-4 with a pair of doubles and a pair of runs in the game. The 24-year-old owns a .259/.305/.421 slash line on the year and he's compiled 14 home runs, seven stolen bases, 52 RBI and 55 runs across 96 games. It's been a disappointing output, considering he racked up 29 homers, 25 stolen bases, 102 RBI and 121 runs last year while posting an .828 OPS. His hard-contact metrics are mostly all right where they were last year, but his strikeout rate has ballooned up from 19.9% last year to 24.7% this year. We'll see if he can cut down on those strikeouts over the second half of the 2022 season.

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette (leg) is not in the starting lineup on Friday against the New York Yankees. Bichette left the game early on Thursday against the Baltimore Orioles with a right leg injury after going 1-for-3. The good news is that X-rays came back negative, so he should be considered day-to-day for now. Hopefully, the 24-year-old will be able to get into a game at some point this weekend against the Yankees. Santiago Espinal will start at the 6 on Friday and bat second against Yankees left-hander Jordan Montgomery. Espinal has been great in June, going 22-for-59 (.373) with three home runs and 13 RBI in 15 games, so he'll be a popular DFS target in the two-hole.

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette helped lead the team to a 11-1 route of the Baltimore Orioles on Monday. He went 2-for-5 with a run scored in the game. Bichette has been hot at the plate lately. He's now recorded multiple hits in five of his last six games and he's slashing .320/.404/.540 across the month of June as a whole. The 24-year-old got off to a slow start to the year. As a result, his season-long slash line of .270/.316/.448 is a bit underwhelming. However, his 10 home runs on the year have him on a solid 162-game pace of 27 homers and his 92.2 mph average exit velocity is a career-best mark, ranking in the 93rd percentile of the league.

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette went 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored in the team's 9-3 loss to the Minnesota Twins on Friday. The 24-year-old closed out the month of May with a hot streak at the plate. He recorded multiple hits in five of his last six games of May, compiling five doubles and a home run over the six-game stretch. Across 51 games on the year, Bichette is slashing .254/.296/.418 with seven home runs, four stolen bases, 26 RBI and 26 runs. While those surface stats are a bit underwhelming given Bichette's track record, fantasy managers should expect better times ahead. His underlying stats are mostly all right where they were last year, including his 89th percentile average exit velocity (91.6 mph) and 92nd percentile hard-hit rate (50%).

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette has had a nice turnaround at the plate this month after struggling in April. He opened the year with a .213/.237/.298 slash line and just four extra-base hits (two homers, two doubles) in April. However, in May, he's slashed .271/.319/.494 while tallying seven doubles and four home runs. Given the high expectations this year for the 24-year-old, Bichette's start to the year has been a bit underwhelming. However, fantasy managers have no reason to be concerned. The majority of his underlying stats are right where they were last year, when he was a fantasy stud. With his 83rd percentile average exit velocity (91.1 mph) and his 84th percentile xBA (.289), we expect to see better numbers from Bichette across the board going forward.

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette went 0-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout in the final game of the team's three-game series against the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday. Bichette had a big game in the series opener on Monday, going 3-for-5 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored. He then singled and stole a base in Game 2 of the series. Overall, Bichette has fared better at the plate in May than in April. He's tallied seven extra-base hits while posting an .808 OPS in May. Last month, he only managed four extra-base hits and had a .535 OPS. Bichette and the Blue Jays are off on Thursday, then the team begins a three-game home series against the Cincinnati Reds on Friday.

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette went 1-for-4 with a walk and a strikeout in the team's 6-5 loss to the New York Yankees on Tuesday. He has now reached base at least once in eight of nine games in May and he's slashing .306/.359/.500 across the first third of the month. Bichette is slugging just .354 on the year, which is well below his career slugging percentage of .488. However, he has an xSLG of .465, which is only slightly lower than his career .489 xSLG. Additionally, he is currently maintaining a career-high 50.5% hard-hit rate, up from 47.5% last year. While Bichette's .238 batting average and three home runs over 31 games aren't the metrics fantasy managers were hoping to see right now, we expect better days ahead for the 24-year-old.

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI, a run scored and two strikeouts in the team's 3-2 loss to the New York Yankees on Monday. This was the sixth multi-hit outing of the year for the 24-year-old, who has still yet to settle in at the plate. Through 24 games this season, Bichette is slashing .225/.248/.343 with three home runs, three stolen bases, 11 RBI and 11 runs. Fantasy managers should be confident that Bichette's surface numbers will start looking better soon. He's currently maintaining career-high clips in both average exit velocity (92.7 mph) and hard-hit rate (54.8%) and he has a .291 xBA. He's just been plagued by a career-high 2.41 ground ball to fly ball rate this year, up substantially from his career mark of 1.56.

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette remained in a bit of a funk offensively this past weekend against the Houston Astros. Across the three-game series, he went 2-for-11 for two walks and six strikeouts. The 24-year-old now has a 28.2% strikeout rate on the year, up significantly from 19.9% last year. Meanwhile, his two walks over this past weekend were his first two walks of the year. His walk rate on the season is just 2.8%. Bichette is hitting just .217 over 16 games this year, but he has an xBA of .274, so he's likely been a bit unlucky, but it would also certainly help to see him start cutting his strikeouts down soon.

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette failed to get a hit during Saturday's 7-5 loss to the Oakland Athletics. He went 0-for-4 and is now 8-for-41 to start the season with one home run and no stolen bases. To make matters worse, Bichette's struck out 10 times without a walk. Aside from his first nine games this season, the 24-year-old has found lots of success in the big leagues. He has a career .840 OPS, and last year he slashed .298/.343/.484 with 29 HRs, 121 runs, and 102 RBI in 159 games. Even though Bichette has yet to steal a base, he compiled 25 in 2021, so the run game will come. Fantasy managers can expect the native of Orlando to bounce back from a tough start and contribute in all five categories again.

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette is still in the midst of his rookie contract with his first year of arbitration coming next year. Bichette was asked by Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet whether he and the team have discussed an extension. Bichette stated that he and the club had had some talks this offseason, but added, "Right now we're focused on the season and accomplishing what we think we're capable of. Right now, we're not talking." The 24-year-old is coming off a fantastic season in which he slashed .298/.343/.484 with 29 home runs, 25 stolen bases, 102 RBI and 121 runs. More likely than not, extension talks won't pick up again until after this season.

Despite Major League Baseball's lockout since early December, Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette said his ramp-up before spring training has been largely unchanged. Bichette has been getting swings in a batting cage and at a local high school field with teammates Danny Jansen, Teoscar Hernandez and Santiago Espinal. He has also worked closely with his father and former big-leaguer, Dante Bichette, after he resigned from his role as Blue Jays special assistant during the lockout. The 23-year-old really impressed in his first full season in the majors in 2021, hitting .298 with 29 home runs, 102 RBI, 121 runs and 25 stolen bases in 159 games. Bichette loses some luster in leagues that count on-base percentage due to a low walk rate, but his incredible 2021 campaign has made him a mid-first-round pick in fantasy drafts.

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette had a bit of a rough time at the plate against the Minnesota Twins this past weekend before breaking through on Sunday. He went just 2-for-13 with no extra-base hits and six strikeouts over the first three games of the series. However, on Sunday, he put together a 2-for-4 outing with a double and a run scored, helping the team secure a 5-2 victory. Bichette has had a strong month of September overall, slashing .313/.340/.495 with five home runs, three stolen bases, 17 RBI and 18 runs. He's notched his first career 20-20 season with 26 home runs and 23 stolen bases. Expect for him to be a hot commodity in fantasy drafts come next spring.

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette paced the offense on Wednesday by driving in five runs to help his club defeat the Rays 6-3 in the series finale. He got the scoring started early by homering off Michael Wacha in the first inning for a three-run shot before adding a sac fly and an RBI single to finish the contest going 2-for-5. The 23-year-old is having an outstanding first full season in the majors with 25 HR, 111 runs, 93 RBI, 22 SB, and a .293 BA in 143 games. Managers should continue to ride his five-category production the rest of the way as we close in on the season's end.

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette has been locked in at the plate in September so far after struggling a bit in August. Last month, he slashed .250/.293/.343 with just two home runs. His .636 OPS in August was his lowest month-long OPS of the year. However, through 14 games in September, Bichette has already tallied three home runs and six multi-hit efforts while slashing .333/.377/.526. Bichette has 24 home runs and 22 stolen bases on the year to go along with a stellar .291/.340/.463 slash line. His all-around proficiency makes him an extremely valuable asset in all rotisserie leagues and head-to-head categories leagues.

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette had a terrific day at the plate on Sunday, going 4-for-4 in the club's 8-0 win over the Athletics. The 23-year-old hit one double and three singles, scoring a pair of runs while driving in one as he is now riding a nice 10-game hitting streak. For the season, Bichette is hitting .293 with 21 HR, 103 runs, 82 RBI, and 21 SB through 132 games in his first full big-league season. He's living up to draft day expectations with superb five-category production, and managers should expect more of the same as we enter the final weeks of the 2021 season.

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette had a solid game in the team's 5-4 win over the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday. He went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and two runs scored. He is now riding a seven-game hitting streak that has included two doubles and a home run. He's only struck out a total of three times over the seven-game stretch. The 23-year-old is slashing .286/.336/.455 over 129 games on the year. He has 21 home runs, 21 stolen bases, 81 RBI and 98 runs. He's been a standout performer in all fantasy formats, but has been especially valuable in rotisserie leagues and head-to-head categories leagues thanks to his versatility. We could see him go as early as the top of the second round in those formats next year.

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette led the team's offense on Sunday with three base hits as his club was defeated by the Tigers 5-3. He finished the day going 3-for-6 with two singles, a double, and a run scored while batting out of the leadoff for the third day in a row. Bichette has now cycled through each of the top-four spots in the Jays order this season accumulating 20 HR, 91 runs, 77 RBI, and a .287 BA in 120 games. The 23-year-old is one of the league's brightest stars both for real life and in fantasy and managers should expect him to finish off the year with more stellar five-category production.

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette went 2-for-5 in Tuesday's contest versus the Nationals as his club was defeated 12-6. The 23-year-old has moved back into the two-hole in the lineup with George Springer back on the shelf as he recorded a pair of singles while swiping his 18th bag of the season. Bichette is well on his way to a 20/20 campaign as he currently sits with 20 HR, 90 runs, 77 RBI, and a .287 BA, proving to be one of the top five-category contributors in the majors. His move back up the order will see him finding more run opportunities than RBI chances, but anywhere near the top of the Jays batting order is prime real estate for all counting stats.
