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.

Brogdon cleared waivers Thursday and elected free agency.

Brogdon posted a 5.55 ERA and 1.34 WHIP across 47 innings with the Angels this season -- both career worsts among seasons he pitched at least 40 frames. He should be able to land another contract during the offseason, though he doesn't project to serve as anything more than bullpen depth in 2026.

Fulmer (elbow) cleared waivers Thursday and elected free agency.

Fulmer turned in a 5.83 ERA and 1.23 WHIP across 29.1 innings with the Angels this year before a right elbow strain put an early end to his season in August. The 31-year-old will now have the freedom to choose where he begins the 2026 campaign, though he will likely have to settle for a minor-league pact this winter.

The Dodgers announced Thursday that Vesia is away from the team for personal reasons.

The Dodgers have yet to finalize their roster for the World Series, and it's unclear whether Vesia's situation will prevent him from pitching in the Fall Classic against the Blue Jays. The 29-year-old southpaw has allowed two earned runs and struck out four batters across 4.2 innings during Los Angeles' postseason run.

The Brewers deemed Henderson (elbow) to be fully healthy at the end of the season, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Henderson's season came to an early end after being diagnosed with a flexor strain in his right elbow in early August, but the team has now confirmed the young right-hander made a full recovery and should have a normal offseason. The 23-year-old turned a few heads by posting a 1.79 ERA and 0.99 WHIP alongside a 33:8 K:BB across 25.1 innings during his five regular-season starts with Milwaukee, and he figures to have a strong chance to make the Brewers' Opening Day rotation in 2026.

Frelick is expected to have a normal offseason after imaging on his left knee came back negative, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Frelick initially tweaked his knee in early May and battled through soreness off and on for the rest of the season, though he never went on the injured list because of the knee issue. He's expected to arrive for spring training at 100 percent after getting some extended rest over the offseason. Frelick had his best season at the plate in 2025, slashing .288/.351/.405 with 12 homers and 19 stolen bases.

Contreras will visit a hand specialist next week to determine whether he needs surgery to repair a fractured left middle finger, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Contreras was diagnosed with a fractured finger back in early May but played through the injury for most of the season. It likely contributed to a relatively disappointing offensive season, as Contreras finished with a .260/.355/.399 batting line with 17 home runs. If he does wind up undergoing surgery, Contreras' availability for the beginning of spring training should not be affected.

Durbin will undergo arthroscopic elbow surgery Oct. 30, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Durbin's elbow began bothering him toward the end of the season, so he will now go under the knife to address the issue. The 25-year-old infielder is expected to be fully recovered by the time spring training begins in February.

Thomas (elbow) elected to become a free agent Thursday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Thomas was a Rule 5 pick of the Brewers last offseason and made just two appearances for them before eventually undergoing internal brace surgery on his left elbow in July. He'll likely be shelved until around midseason and will not look to link up with a new organization as he continues his rehab.

Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Thursday that Springer is "very capable" of playing the outfield in the World Series, if needed, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Springer has been deployed as the Blue Jays' primary designated hitter this season and hasn't played an inning in the outfield in a month. However, one way to reincorporate Bo Bichette (knee) back into the lineup would be to use him at DH and have Springer play the outfield. Schneider did note that he'd prefer not to take players out of their comfort zone, and Springer clearly has settled in nicely at DH with a resurgent regular season (.959 OPS, 32 home runs) and postseason (.929 OPS, four home runs).
