Bichette left off Blue Jays roster for ALCS against Mariners, Scherzer and Bassitt active

In a disappointing turn for the Toronto Blue Jays, star shortstop Bo Bichette has been left off the roster for the AL Championship Series against the Seattle Mariners due to injury. This is significant as Bichette was a key player, finishing second in the majors in batting average. While the team will miss his contributions, they are bolstered by the return of veteran pitchers Max Scherzer and Chris Bassitt, who are both active after recovering from injuries. The outcome of this series could hinge on how well the Blue Jays adapt to Bichette's absence.
