India, Oct. 13 -- The Blue Jays will play the Mariners in the American League Championship Series without shortstop Bo Bichette, who was ruled out after feeling pain in his injured left knee.

Toronto added veteran pitchers Max Scherzer and Chris Bassitt to the roster as they chase their first AL pennant since 1993.

Seattle made a minor change, bringing back right-hander Bryan Woo for the series.

Bichette, 27, had hoped to return from a knee sprain suffered in a collision at home plate against the Yankees on Sept. 6. He had recently resumed running and faced live pitching but experienced pain Saturday while running the bases, ending his comeback bid.

Game 1 will take place Sunday night at Rogers Centre.
