The Mets list Bo Bichette as out of the lineup for a second straight game as he deals with leg soreness. Ahead of Saturday’s game against the Boston Red Sox, interim manager Andy Green said the issue is “day to day” and that Bichette is held out because of soreness in his legs and also right-ankle discomfort. Green added that Bichette experienced pain during last weekend’s series in Atlanta, even though he went 8-for-18, and that the pain recurred when he fouled balls off his legs. The team indicates his availability could extend beyond the current series, with one report noting he may sit through the All-Star break.
In the same injury update, the Mets also address Marcus Semien’s status, saying he is nearing a rehab assignment. The reports collectively present these updates as part of the team’s preparations for the ongoing three-game series with Boston, with Bichette’s rest continuing for the time being and Semien expected to move toward minor-league action.
