Bichette, 21, will join Vlad Guerrero Jr. and Cavan Biggio as the third rookie star to debut in the Blue Jays infield this season.
In 59 games with triple-A Buffalo this season, Bichette is hitting .290 with eight home runs and 33 RBIs.
“I’ve done everything they asked me to do,” Bichette said in an interview with Sportsnet’s David Singh earlier this month. “I’ve performed, I’ve put up numbers. I’ve gotten better offensively, defensively, base-running, as an athlete, as a teammate. Everything they’ve asked me to do, I’ve done for the past three years.
“So, if I’m not ready in their mind, there’s something new that they need to tell me I need to get better at.”
Now Bichette will get a chance to back up those words in the majors.
