As the Toronto Blue Jays prepare for their first World Series appearance in 32 years, they’ll get a major boost with the return of shortstop Bo Bichette, who is set to be activated for the Fall Classic against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Bichette has missed the entire postseason with a knee injury, but the club confirmed he’ll be on the active roster when the series begins. While it’s unclear whether he’ll start at shortstop or ease back in as a designated hitter, his bat immediately strengthens a lineup that’s already been rolling through October.

The 27-year-old was one of Toronto’s most consistent hitters during the regular season, batting .292 with 19 home runs and 73 RBIs. His return adds both experience and energy to a Blue Jays team chasing its first championship since 1993.

Manager John Schneider and his staff are expected to monitor Bichette’s workload closely, ensuring his health while maximizing his impact in the biggest series of his career.

After three decades of waiting, Toronto fans now have one more reason to believe — their All-Star shortstop is back just in time for the World Series.
