    Blue Jays' Bo Bichette: Making 'significant progress'

    Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Monday that Bichette (knee) has made "significant progress," Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Whether that progress has been sufficient enough to be included on the Blue Jays' World Series roster -- should they advance -- is not yet clear, but Bichette is moving in the right direction as he works his way back from a PCL sprain in his left knee. The World Series begins Friday, so if the Blue Jays are able to defeat the Mariners in Game 7 of the ALCS, Bichette will have a few additional days to convince the club he's ready. The 27-year-old has not played in a game in more than six weeks.

    Mariners' Victor Robles: Getting start in ALCS Game 7

    Robles will start in right field and bat ninth in Monday's ALCS Game 7 in Toronto.

    It's the first start since ALCS Game 3 for Robles, who is 1-for-12 with a 1:4 K:BB during the series. Dominic Canzone will retreat to the bench for the Mariners in Monday's winner-take-all contest.

  • Mariners' Dominic Canzone: Exiting starting nine

    Canzone is absent from the lineup for Monday's ALCS Game 7 against the Blue Jays.

    The left-handed-hitting Canzone had been in the lineup all nine times the Mariners went up against a righty this postseason, but he's just 3-for-27 during the playoffs and will take a seat Monday as the Blue Jays sent right-hander Shane Bieber to the bump. Victor Robles will play right field and bat ninth for the Mariners.

    Mariners' Logan Gilbert: Ineffective in Game 6 of ALCS

    Gilbert was tagged with the loss after he pitched four innings, surrendering five runs (four earned) on seven hits and a walk while striking out three batters in Sunday's 6-2 defeat to the Blue Jays in Game 6 of the ALCS.

    Gilbert gave up two runs in the bottom of the second inning before later giving up a two-run home run to Addison Barger in the following frame and a solo shot to Vladimir Guerrero in the fifth. The right-hander has now posted a 4.20 ERA and 1.47 WHIP with 14 strikeouts over 15 innings in four appearances, including three starts, with Seattle in the playoffs so far.

    Mariners' Josh Naylor: Homers in Game 6 loss

    Naylor went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Blue Jays in Game 6 of the ALCS.

    Naylor notched a single in the top of the fourth inning and later launched a two-out solo home run off Trey Yesavage in the top of the sixth. The first baseman is now batting .341 with three home runs, four RBI, seven runs scored and two stolen bases over 44 at-bats in 11 games so far in the postseason.

  • Addison Barger SS | TOR

    Blue Jays' Addison Barger: Goes deep in Game 6 of ALCS

    Barger went 2-for-3 with a home run, a walk and three RBI in Sunday's 6-2 win over Seattle in Game 6 of the ALCS.

    Barger got the scoring started in bottom of the second inning, driving in Daulton Varsho on a single. The 25-year-old would later add a two-run home run off Logan Gilbert in the fourth inning, notching his second long ball of the playoffs. Barger is now batting .281 with two home runs, four RBI and three runs scored over 32 at-bats in nine games during the postseason.

  • Blue Jays' Vladimir Guerrero: Goes yard again

    Guerrero went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Mariners in Game 6 of the ALCS.

    Guerrero launched a solo home run off Logan Gilbert to open the bottom of the fifth inning before later being hit by a pitch in the seventh frame and coming around to score again. Additionally, the first baseman notched a single in the bottom of the eighth, securing his sixth multi-hit performance of the playoffs. Through 10 games in the postseason, Guerrero has batted .462 with six home runs, 12 RBI and 11 runs scored over 39 at-bats.

  • Trey Yesavage SP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Trey Yesavage: Bounces back in Game 6

    Yesavage earned the win after he pitched 5.2 innings, allowing two runs on six hits and three walks while striking out seven in Sunday's 6-2 victory over Seattle in Game 6 of the ALCS.

    Yesavage toed the rubber for the second time in the series, bouncing back well after surrendering five runs over four innings in Game 2. The right-hander was able to blank the Mariners through five innings before he gave up a two-out solo home run to Josh Naylor in the top of the sixth. Yesavage then surrendered a two-out single to Randy Arozarena, and he was subsequently removed from the game. Arozarena later came around to score on a single by Eugenio Suarez. Yesavage has now posted a 4.20 ERA with 22 strikeouts over 15 innings in three starts during the postseason.

  • Blue Jays' George Springer: Included in Game 6 lineup

    Springer (knee) will start at designated hitter and bat leadoff Sunday in Game 6 of the ALCS against the Mariners.

    Springer's availability for Game 6 had been in question after he exited Friday's 6-2 loss in Game 5 upon being hit in the right knee by a pitch, but the day off between contests appears to have provided sufficient time for the 36-year-old to heal. He'll slot into his usual spot atop the batting order as the Blue Jays look to extend the series to seven games. Through the Blue Jays' first nine playoff games, Springer ranks third on the team with a .934 OPS.

  • Logan Gilbert SP | SEA

    Mariners' Logan Gilbert: Gets ball for Game 6

    Gilbert will start Game 6 of the ALCS against the Blue Jays on Sunday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

    As expected, Gilbert will toe the rubber in Toronto on Sunday after giving up three runs (two earned) over three innings in Monday's Game 2 start. Gilbert has a 2.45 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 11 strikeouts in 11 innings across three appearances this postseason. Trey Yesavage will be starting Game 6 for Toronto.
