Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Thursday that designated hitter, shortstop and second base are all on the table as spots for Bichette (knee) if he is on the World Series roster, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Schneider stopped short of confirming Bichette will be on the roster following a seven-week absence with a PCL sprain in his left knee. However, Bichette will go through another full workout Thursday, and as long as he gets through that with no issues, all signs point to him suiting up for the Fall Classic. Where and how much Bichette plays is up in the air, but Andres Gimenez is expected to stay at shortstop. Bichette hasn't been used at second base in the majors, but he "looked more than comfortable" when he played the position in the minors, per Schneider, and it seems there's a good chance he'll handle the keystone in the World Series. The Blue Jays and Dodgers must set their World Series rosters by Friday morning.

Bichette (knee) took grounders at second base during a workout at Rogers Centre on Wednesday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

It's unclear whether the Blue Jays are considering using Bichette as their regular second baseman during the World Series or if they're merely evaluating their options. The 27-year-old hasn't played a position other than shortstop at the big-league level, and the extent of his experience at second base has been 30 games in the minors, the last of which came in 2019. Bichette does appear locked into a spot on the Blue Jays' World Series roster after missing the past seven weeks with a PCL sprain in his left knee, but how he'll be used remains a mystery. Andres Gimenez is expected to stay at shortstop, and Toronto is likely hesitant to move George Springer from designated hitter to the outfield, given how well he's hit. If the team is comfortable using Bichette at second base, it would shift Ernie Clement to third base and Addison Barger to the outfield.

The Angels outrighted Brogdon to Triple-A Salt Lake on Wednesday.

Brogdon has the ability to decline the outright assignment and elect free agency, but it's unclear what he plans to do. The right-handed reliever made 43 appearances for the Angels in 2025, collecting a 5.55 ERA and 49:18 K:BB.

The Angels outrighted Fulmer (elbow) to Triple-A Salt Lake on Wednesday.

Fulmer can decline the outright assignment and elect free agency if he wants, but it's unclear what his intentions are. The righty's 2025 season ended prematurely due to an elbow strain, but he did not require surgery and should heal after an offseason of rest.

Bremner is not pitching in fall instructs due to elbow soreness, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

He had a clean MRI, and the move to hold him out of instructs is being labeled precautionary, with Blum reporting that there is no concern within the organization about any actual injury. Nonetheless, with six or seven very strong pitching prospects headlining the 2025 First-Year Player Draft class, the fact Bremner hasn't logged any meaningful game action since getting drafted with the No. 1 overall pick could be a tiebreaker for dynasty managers deciding whom to select in dynasty first-year player drafts.

Davidson cleared waivers Wednesday and was sent outright to Triple-A Salt Lake.

Davidson spent most of his time in Triple-A this season, slashing .252/.387/.399 with 10 homers, 51 RBI, 60 runs and seven steals across 94 minor-league games. Now that he no longer has a place on the Angels' 40-man roster, he'll likely need to impress during spring training to reclaim a spot.

The Mariners are expected to give Emerson "runway" to win an Opening Day roster spot, Adam Jude of the Seattle Times reports.

Most of Emerson's playing time in the minors has come at shortstop, but he's also played some second base and third base. With Eugenio Suarez entering free agency, the hot corner appears the most likely path for Emerson, who is expected to compete with Ben Williamson for the starting job. Emerson is just 20 and has only six games of experience at Triple-A Tacoma, but Jude notes that the Mariners considered putting Emerson on their playoff roster taxi squad. The left-handed hitter slashed .285/.383/.458 with 16 home runs and 14 stolen bases over 130 games across three levels in the minors in 2025.

Hoffman secured the save after striking out three batters in a perfect ninth inning during Monday's 4-3 victory in Game 7 of the American League Championship Series against the Mariners.

Hoffman entered the matchup with just three outs standing in the way of a trip to the World Series, and he didn't mess around. He needed only 14 pitches to slam the door, striking out Leo Rivas, Dominic Canzone and Julio Rodriguez to help Toronto advance. Hoffman made four appearances during the ALCS, allowing one hit and one walk while striking out 10 over five innings of work.

Kirby didn't factor into the decision during Monday's 4-3 loss in Game 7 of the American League Championship Series against the Blue Jays, allowing one run on four hits and one walk while striking out three over four innings.

Kirby was tagged for a run in the bottom of the first inning after issuing a leadoff walk, followed by a pair of singles. However, he was able to escape the jam without suffering further damage and exited the matchup with a lead. The Mariners would later surrender a two-run lead in the seventh, bringing the right-hander's postseason run to an end. Kirby responded nicely from a disastrous outing in Game 3, when he surrendered eight runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out four in four-plus frames.

Bieber allowed two runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out five over 3.2 innings during Monday's 4-3 win in Game 7 over the Mariners. He didn't factor into the decision.

Bieber was hit hard early in Monday's outing, as Seattle got to him for a run in the top of the first inning, and Julio Rodriguez would deliver a go-ahead solo home run in the top of the third. While seven hits in fewer than four frames doesn't often result in success, Bieber managed to navigate around traffic on the bases to keep his club in the game, later exiting with a one-run deficit. Overall, the veteran right-hander delivered a solid ALCS, surrendering four runs on 11 hits and two walks while striking out 13 across 9.2 innings (two starts). He'll certainly be leaned on in the World Series against the Dodgers and will likely be tapped to start either Game 2 or Game 3.
