    Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Begins jogging after knee surgery

    Winn has begun jogging and said the pain is gone in his surgically repaired right knee, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

    Winn -- who won his first National League Gold Glove on Sunday -- is just over a month removed from surgery to repair a torn meniscus and said he can already "really feel the difference" in the knee. The 23-year-old is expected to be ready to go for the start of spring training. Winn slashed a disappointing .253/.310/.363 with nine home runs and nine stolen bases across 537 plate appearances in 2025, though the downturn in his production can likely be blamed in part due to having to play through nagging soreness in his knee for several months.

    Blue Jays' Bo Bichette: Belts big World Series homer

    Bichette went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and a walk against the Dodgers on Saturday in an extra-innings loss in Game 7 of the World Series.

    Bichette put the Blue Jays on the board with a three-run home run off Shohei Ohtani in the third inning. For much of the game it looked like that would be the knockout blow en route to a Toronto championship, but Los Angeles staged a late comeback and ultimately pulled off the victory in 11 innings. Bichette missed seven weeks coming into the World Series due to a knee injury, but he was included on the World Series roster and started six of the seven games. He didn't show any rust, batting .348 with the home run, six RBI, two runs and four walks over 27 plate appearances.

    Aaron Schunk: Elects free agency

    Schunk cleared waivers Friday and elected to become a free agent, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.

    Schunk appeared in just 16 games for the Rockies in 2025 and managed to slash just .188/.188/.219 across 33 plate appearances. His Triple-A performance (.829 OPS over 90 games) was much better, however, and could be enough to buy the 28-year-old infielder another opportunity this winter -- likely on a minor-league contract.

    Blue Jays' Bo Bichette: Not anticipating knee surgery

    Bichette said Friday that he does not expect to require surgery this offseason to repair a PCL sprain in his left knee, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Bichette was diagnosed with a sprained knee in early September and missed seven weeks of action before rejoining the Blue Jays' roster for the World Series. He has been noticeably gimpy, but Bichette expects his knee injury to heal with rest. The impending free agent slashed .311/.357/.483 over 139 regular-season games and is 5-for-16 at the plate so far in the World Series.

    Orioles' Luis Vazquez: Re-signs with O's

    Vazquez signed a one-year contract with the Orioles on Thursday.

    Vazquez appeared in 36 games for Baltimore in 2025, slashing .160/.208/.240 over 53 plate appearances. He put up far better numbers at Triple-A, logging a .756 OPS over 43 contests. The 26-year-old infielder will now officially return for a second year in the Orioles organization, though he figures to remain a depth piece.

    Blue Jays' Bo Bichette: Will return to lineup for Game 3

    Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Sunday that Bichette will start at second base in Game 3 of the World Series on Monday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    After starting Game 1 and reaching base twice on a single and a walk, Bichette was held out of the lineup in Game 2 (though he did receive one plate appearance off the bench). He'll return to second base for Game 3 as the series moves to Los Angeles and will likely serve as the Blue Jays' cleanup hitter.

    Blue Jays' Bo Bichette: Out of Game 2 lineup

    Bichette isn't in the lineup for Game 2 of the World Series against the Dodgers on Saturday.

    Bichette played in Game 1 on Friday -- his first game action in seven weeks -- but the Jays will keep the 27-year-old infielder on the bench Saturday while he continues to nurse a left knee injury. Isiah Kiner-Falefa will start at second base as a result and bat eighth.

    Blue Jays' Bo Bichette: Playing second base, batting fourth

    Bichette will start at second base and hit cleanup in Friday's World Series Game 1 against the Dodgers.

    Bichette has never played second base at the major-league level, having last seen action at the position in 2019 at Triple-A Buffalo. It's a big ask for him to start at the keystone in Game 1 of the World Series, particularly after he missed the past seven weeks with a PCL sprain in his left knee. However, the Blue Jays are willing to roll the dice in order to get Bichette's bat into the lineup and keep George Springer at designated hitter, where he's thrived.

    Blue Jays' Bo Bichette: Included on World Series roster

    Bichette (knee) is on the Blue Jays' World Series roster.

    Bichette has been shelved for the past seven weeks while recovering from a PCL sprain in his left knee, but he's ramped up his workouts lately and has progressed enough to be added to Toronto's roster for the Fall Classic. The Blue Jays have not revealed what the plan is for Bichette's role, but with Andres Gimenez expected to remain at shortstop, Bichette is likely to handle second base, serve as the designated hitter or perhaps be a bat off the bench.

    Blue Jays' Bo Bichette: DH, 2B, SS all possible

    Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Thursday that designated hitter, shortstop and second base are all on the table as spots for Bichette (knee) if he is on the World Series roster, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Schneider stopped short of confirming Bichette will be on the roster following a seven-week absence with a PCL sprain in his left knee. However, Bichette will go through another full workout Thursday, and as long as he gets through that with no issues, all signs point to him suiting up for the Fall Classic. Where and how much Bichette plays is up in the air, but Andres Gimenez is expected to stay at shortstop. Bichette hasn't been used at second base in the majors, but he "looked more than comfortable" when he played the position in the minors, per Schneider, and it seems there's a good chance he'll handle the keystone in the World Series. The Blue Jays and Dodgers must set their World Series rosters by Friday morning.
