Blue Jays’ Bo Bichette late scratch vs. Rays with neck spasms
The 2023 AL All-Star was replaced by Ernie Clement, who went 1 for 5 with a single.
Bichette had two hits in 12 at-bats (.167) with two RBIs through the first three games of the season.
Third baseman Justin Turner hit third in the lineup in place of Bichette.
Ace Kevin Gausman, whose spring training debut was delayed until last Monday because of shoulder fatigue, made his first start.
