Blue Jays SS Bo Bichette (calf) missing second straight game

Two-time All-Star shortstop Bo Bichette will miss his second straight game Sunday due to right calf soreness as the Toronto Blue Jays wrap up a three-game series against the Cleveland Guardians.

Isiah Kiner-Falefa replaced Bichette at shortstop this weekend, while left fielder Davis Schneider returned to Toronto's starting lineup after a one-game absence.

Bichette, 26, is hitting .237 with four homers and 28 RBIs in 66 games this season.

A second-round draft pick in 2016 and an All-Star in 2021 and 2023, Bichette is hitting .293 with 93 homers and 340 RBIs in 595 games since making his debut with Toronto in 2019.

Schneider, 25, is hitting .230 with eight homers and 33 RBIs in 63 games this season.
