Bo Bichette will not play in the Toronto Blue Jays' series opener against the Kansas City Royals on Monday night.
With Bichette not in the lineup, Justin Turner will move up to second in the Blue Jays batting order, while Isiah Kiner-Falefa will shift over to shortstop.
The Blue Jays did not provide any indication of an injury for Bichette. The 26-year-old has struggled to open the season, batting .210/.263/.305 with a home run and 10 RBI in 27 games.
Addison Barger will get his first start at third base since being called up by the Blue Jays after spending most of his time in the outfield.
