Undergoing surgery on finger Bichette will undergo surgery to have a pin inserted into his fractured right middle finger, Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic reports.

Impact The pin will ensure the finger heals correctly. Bichette is expected to be 100 percent recovery by the time spring training rolls around. The 26-year-old was limited to just 81 games in 2024 due to injury, slashing a disappointing .225/.277/.322 with four home runs.

Meeting with hand specialist Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Monday that Bichette (finger) traveled to Arizona this week to meet with a hand specialist, Scott Mitchell of TSN.ca reports.

Impact Bichette has already been ruled out for the season with a fractured right middle finger, but the consultation with the specialist should help the infielder determine whether or not he'll need surgery to address the injury. Regardless of whether he gets surgery, Bichette should be back to full health in advance of spring training. The 26-year-old is scheduled to become a free agent after the 2025 season and could be a trade candidate this winter, though the Blue Jays may prefer to have Bichette rebuild some value after he posted a career-worst .599 OPS over 336 plate appearances in 2024.

Impact Bichette went 2-for-5 with an RBI in his return from the injured list Tuesday, but he'll be prevented from playing Wednesday as he deals with a bruised finger. His absence will move Ernie Clement from third base to shortstop, and Addison Barger will enter the starting nine to start at the hot corner.

He's in the midst of a down year with a .222/.275/.320 line through 80 games and there are questions about his future in Toronto.
