That’s because George Springer would have to return to the outfield, removing either Addison Barger — a slugger with a strong arm in right field — or left fielder Nathan Lukes, who has batted .333, third on the team, during the playoffs.

The Blue Jays may have just gotten a massive boost after reaching their first World Series in 32 years. Shortly after beating the Mariners in Game 7 of the American League Championship Series Monday night, All-Star shortstop Bo Bichette said he plans to be active for Toronto's matchup with the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Bichette had a great year at the plate but his regular season was unceremoniously ended in a collision with Yankees catcher Austin Wells in early September. Bichette suffered a sprained posterior cruciate ligament in his left knee and hasn’t played since.

Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette said "I'll be ready" when asked if he'll be joining his team for its first World Series appearance since 1993.
