Blue Jays' Bichette faces injury while minor league game

Toronto Blue Jays prospect Bo Bichette suffered a broken left hand when he was hit by a pitch in a minor league game, according to multiple reports Tuesday. Playing for Triple-A Buffalo, Bichette was struck in the hand during Monday's game against Syracuse and was forced to leave the contest.

Preliminary tests revealed a fracture, but Bichette will seek a second opinion, according to The Athletic. The 21-year-old shortstop is Toronto's No. 2-ranked prospect after Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

Bichette, the son of former Colorado Rockies slugger and four-time All-Star Dante Bichette, was hitting .250 with one homer and eight RBIs through 14 games this season at Buffalo. He batted .286 with 11 homers, 43 doubles, 74 RBIs and 32 stolen bases in 131 games last season at Double-A New Hampshire.
