Toronto, Canada – The Toronto Blue Jays have bolstered their roster for the World Series, announcing the inclusion of Bo Bichette and Ty France in their official roster. This addition seeks to enhance an offense that has already proven to be productive during the postseason.
Bichette Returns to the Team
After recovering from a left knee injury that kept him out of the Divisional Series and the Championship Series, Bo Bichette has been cleared by the medical staff. Although his position in the starting lineup is not yet fully defined, the shortstop expressed his enthusiasm to return to action.Ty France also joins the roster, which means the Blue Jays will have one less outfielder and a pitching staff composed of 12 pitchers. This decision strengthens the middle part of the offensive order, prioritizing power and experience in high-pressure situations. Bichette’s return is a significant boost for Toronto, which hasn’t participated in a World Series since 1993. The team will seek to capitalize on its home advantage at the Rogers Centre, where the first game of the series will take place. Manager John Schneider indicated that the final decision on Bichette’s role will be made “day by day”, but emphasized that his leadership and presence in the locker room will be fundamental.I am ready to help the team in whatever is necessary. It’s a dream to return just in time for the Fall Classic.

Game 1 of the 2025 World Series is scheduled for this Friday at 8:00 p.m. (Eastern Time). The Blue Jays will send rookie Trey Yesavage to the mound, while the Los Angeles Dodgers, the current defending champions, will feature Blake Snell as their starting pitcher.Bo is a central piece of this team. Having him back, even if he doesn’t play all nine innings every night, is a huge motivation for everyone.
