"Blue Jays manager John Schneider made several moves to his starting lineup for Saturday's Game 2 of the World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Infielder Bo Bichette, who made his first game appearance in seven weeks in Toronto's 11-4 Game 1 win, was available off the bench. Isiah Kiner-Falefa got the start at second base with outfielders Nathan Lukes and Addison Barger drawing in for Davis Schneider and Myles Straw."
""After the layoff, I didn't want to like kill him, you know," Schneider said in a pre-game media availability from his office. "So this is stuff we talked about even leading up to the decision to put him on the roster. "I thought he was good yesterday and just want to watch him physically. But he'll be ready to hit and play whenever." Right-handers Kevin Gausman of Toronto and Yoshinobu Yamamoto of Los Angeles were set to start in Game 2."
The Blue Jays adjusted their Game 2 lineup, keeping Bo Bichette available off the bench after a seven-week absence with a left knee sprain. Isiah Kiner-Falefa started at second base while Nathan Lukes and Addison Barger entered the outfield for Davis Schneider and Myles Straw. Bichette, normally a shortstop, made his first big-league start at second after being named to the 26-man roster. Manager John Schneider emphasized cautious monitoring of Bichette's physical status and readiness to hit and play. Right-handers Kevin Gausman and Yoshinobu Yamamoto were slated to start Game 2, with Max Scherzer and Shane Bieber scheduled for Games 3 and 4. Bichette had a single and a walk in Game 1 and finished the season with a .311 average and 181 hits.
