The Toronto Blue Jays placed shortstop Bo Bichette on the injured list with a fractured finger, the club announced Thursday.
Bichette returned Tuesday from a calf strain that sidelined him for two months and appeared in one game before getting hurt again.
The 26-year-old was injured when he took a ground ball off his finger during pregame warmups Wednesday. He will see a professional to determine the best course of action, according to Sportsnet’s Hazel Mae.
The two-time All-Star will end his injury-ridden 2024 campaign with a dreadful .599 OPS in 81 games. He hit just four home runs and had career lows in every important offensive metric.
Toronto recalled outfielder Jonatan Clase, its No. 6-ranked prospect according to MLB Pipeline, in a matching move. Clase was acquired in the transaction that sent Yimi García to the Seattle Mariners.
The Blue Jays entered Thursday last in the AL East.
