Impact Bichette's move to the IL comes just hours after he was sent in for an MRI on the injured knee, which prevented him from playing in the resumption of Saturday's suspended game against the Rays. He'll now be sidelined for the regularly-scheduled game Sunday and at least a week and a half beyond that, even though the Blue Jays have yet to reveal the results of his MRI. Bichette's move to the IL could open up steady action at shortstop for veteran Joe Panik, with Brandon Drury and the newly recalled Santiago Espinal also representing potential options at the position.
