"Perhaps with inclement weather occurring and the rain coming down hard, Bichette slid into home plate with his knees and shins first, rather than his feet. With Wells receiving the ball with ample time from the outfield, his legs blocking the plate would impact with the Jays star shortstop's left leg, resulting in Bichette needing some assistance as he limped and hobbled gingerly off the field, as per Shi Davidi of Sportsnet."
"Toronto sure hopes that the injury isn't as serious as it looks, as Bichette had not only been one of the Jays' top hitters during the second half of the 2025 MLB season, but one of the best hitters in the entire league over that stretch. In fact, in his past 30 games, the 27-year-old shortstop has been hitting a scorching .370 with a 1.025 OPS, along with a whopping 26 runs scored, five home runs and 25 RBIs to power the Jays' lethal offensive attack."
Bo Bichette collided with Yankees catcher Austin Wells while attempting to score in the sixth inning and suffered a concerning left leg injury. Rain likely contributed to Bichette sliding with his knees and shins first, leading to Wells' legs striking Bichette's left lower leg. Bichette limped off the field with assistance and was seen holding his left shin. Earlier in the game, Bichette had walked and later doubled, scoring the Jays' only run. Bichette has been a top hitter recently, batting .370 with a 1.025 OPS, 26 runs, five homers and 25 RBIs over his past 30 games.
