Bichette suffered the injury on Monday, July 31st, after running the bases against the Baltimore Orioles.

The two-time MLB All-Star was placed on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday, August 2nd, with right patellar tendinitis. While the incident initially looked like the worst-case scenario, this became the best possible outcome avoiding significant injury.
Bichette was batting .321 with 17 home runs, 59 runs batted in, and a league-leading 144 hits in 106 games this season.
