Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer will get a breather on Sunday, one day after playing both games of a doubleheader against the Baltimore Orioles. The Blue Jays will deploy an outfield of Lourdes Gurriel Jr., Randal Grichuk, and Teoscar Hernandez. Springer has played in 10 games since returning from the injured list, collecting nine hits in 39 at-bats in that span with three extra-base hits. Fantasy managers should look for him to be back in the lineup early next week.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (knee) will be the designated hitter and bat leadoff on Wednesday against Matt Harvey and the Baltimore Orioles. The 31-year-old had to be removed as a precaution from Tuesday's game due to soreness in his injured knee, just one day after he was activated from the 10-day injured list. Springer has been slow to rebound from the injury, going 1-for-6 at the plate since returning from IL. He has, however, hit a home run off of Harvey this season and regularly makes contact when facing the right-hander.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer was removed during the seventh inning of Tuesday's game against the Baltimore Orioles after showing some discomfort while running the bases. He pulled up a little gingerly while running towards second base. The severity of Springer's injury is unknown at this time, and he's considered day-to-day. The Blue Jays will provide an update after the game. Springer was activated from the 10-day injured list on Monday after spending two weeks with a knee injury. Jarrod Dyson replaced Springer in center field. Dyson would see an uptick in playing time if Springer were to miss any games. Fantasy managers searching for steals can add Dyson as he's swiped 10 bags over 79 games this season.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (knee) has been activated from the injured list, SportsNet columnist Shi Davidi reported. The 31-year-old, who has been sidelined since August 14 with a Grade 1 left knee sprain, will pencil into Monday's lineup at designated hitter against Mike Mayers and the Los Angeles Angels. Despite playing a shortened season Springer has had a strong campaign overall, slashing .269/.362/.610 with 16 home runs, 35 RBI, two stolen bases, and 40 runs scored on 49 hits. His return to Toronto's lineup will be a boost for both the Blue Jays and for fantasy managers.

The former Houston Astro has dealt with multiple injuries this season but has produced when healthy and will give fantasy managers a boost down the stretch.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (knee) did some running and also is scheduled to take batting practice ahead of Monday's game against the Chicago White Sox. The fact Springer was able to run is a good sign moving forward. He has been sidelined roughly a week while dealing with a Grade 1 left knee sprain.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (knee) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. The 31-year-old outfielder signed a massive extension with the organization over the offseason, but has played in a total of 49 games this season. That good news is, Springer suffered a Grade 1 left knee sprain. That is the lowest grade for a sprain, but he'll likely still be sidelined for a few weeks. Fantasy managers should assume that Springer is going to be out until at least the end of August.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (knee) has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a left knee sprain, according to Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic. Springer was held out of the lineup on Sunday with what was originally believed to be an ankle issue after suffering the injury on Saturday. It had been reported that he was making improvements on Monday, but now according to manager Charlie Montoyo there's no set timetable for his return to action. This is a big blow to his value in what has been an injury-plagued season in 2021, in which he's been limited to 49 games where he's slashing .269/.362/.610 with 16 homers, two steals, 35 RBI and 40 runs scored. Managers should stash him on the injured list, but be prepared for him to not return in time to make an impact in fantasy this year.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (ankle) is showing improvement after exiting Saturday's game early, according to Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic. Springer had tweaked his ankle in the outfield on Saturday, and according to manager Charlie Montoyo he will receive treatment on his ankle during the team's off-day Monday, and they'll see how he's feeling on Tuesday. This is good news for managers, as it doesn't appear to be a serious issue that will keep Springer out for a lengthy amount of time. Consider him day-to-day for now, and keep an eye out on the lineup for Tuesday's series opener with the Nationals.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (ankle) is not in Sunday's lineup against the Seattle Mariners. Springer exited Saturday's game early after tweaking his ankle in the outfield. It is unclear if he will need a trip to the injured list or not, but he is day-to-day as of now.

While healthy, he's been very productive, slashing .269/.362/.610 with 16 HRs, 35 RBI, 40 runs, and two stolen bases over 49 games. Stay tuned for more updates.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer left Saturday's contest versus the Mariners early after injuring his ankle while trying to make a leaping catch against the fence. He appeared to land funny on his left ankle after hitting the wall, but he was able to walk off the field under his own power. The club has yet to address any severity of the injury, but he should be considered day-to-day and will likely be absent from Sunday's lineup. Springer has been one of the league's best hitters since the All-Star break with a .318 BA and 11 long balls after missing most of the first half with other injuries, so it would be a heartbreaker for managers to see him miss significant time again.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer came up clutch on Sunday, launching a no-doubt three-run home run with two outs in the bottom of the eighth to propel his team past the Red Sox 9-8. His 442' blast off Matt Barnes was his 14th long ball of the season as he finished the game going 2-for-4 with a walk and four runs scored. Springer has been on a tear since the All-Star break with nine homers, a .360 BA, and a league-leading 25 runs scored. His early-season injuries have limited him to 43 games in 2021, but with his bat now in mid-season form, he'll provide fantasy teams with a massive boost the rest of the way.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer lifted his 12th homer of the campaign on Tuesday, helping his team go on to a 7-2 win over the Indians. The veteran took a full count offering from Zach Plesac over the left field wall to lead off the bottom half of the first inning, and his club never looked back in the decisive victory. He also chipped in with a double and a sac fly to finish the game going 2-for-4 with a pair of runs and RBI. Springer has been on fire so far in the second half with seven homers and a .369 BA in 17 games to up his season-long BA to .277 with 29 runs and 22 RBI. Now that the three-time All-Star is back to full health he should post tremendous numbers the rest of the way.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer hit a pair of long balls on Saturday to help his club defeat the Royals 4-0. He took Mike Minor's first offering of the game deep down the left field line in the first, and then followed that up with a two-run tater to right-center in the third for his 11th bomb of the season. Since his return to the leadoff spot in the lineup last weekend, the 31-year-old is hitting .333 with four homers, seven RBI, and 11 runs scored as his bat appears to be rounding into mid-season form. After missing most of the first half with injuries, managers should expect Springer to put up a stellar finish to the 2021 season.

NEW YORK (AP) — Joey Votto homered for the seventh straight game, one shy of a major league record, and the Cincinnati Reds beat the New York Mets 6-2 on Friday night. Jonathan India went deep twice for the Reds, including a leadoff shot that came on Carlos Carrasco’s first pitch with the Mets. Acquired from Cleveland in January, the veteran right-hander finally made his New York debut after recovering from a hamstring injury. It was an up-and-down day for the Mets, who made a big deal to get Javier Báez from the Chicago Cubs before baseball’s trade deadline — and then revealed injured ace Jacob deGrom will be shut down for two more weeks because of inflammation in his pitching elbow, making it unlikely he’ll rejoin the NL East leaders before September. Báez was acquired from the Cubs along with right-hander Trevor Williams for outfield prospect Pete Crow-Armstrong, the Mets’ first-round pick in the 2020 amateur draft. Báez is expected to join the Mets on Saturday and will play shortstop... [More]
