Bo Bichette sidelined by thumb discomfort for Blue Jays’ series finale against Marlins

MIAMI (AP) — Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette was a late scratch for Toronto’s series finale against the Miami Marlins because of left thumb discomfort. Cavan Biggio took Bichette’s spot in the lineup batting sixth and went 2 for 4. Biggio had an RBI double during a five-run second inning against Miami starter Sandy Alcantara that put the Blue Jays ahead 5-0. They held on to win 6-3. Designated hitter Brandon Belt was reinstated from the 10-day injured list before the game after missing time with left hamstring inflammation. He went 1 for 4.  Spencer Horwitz was optioned to the Blue Jays’ Triple-A affiliate in Buffalo in a corresponding move.
