Springer is slashing .250/.330/.474 with 17 home runs, 42 RBI, and nine stolen bases across 308 at-bats this season.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (elbow) has chosen not to play in this year's All-Star game. Instead, he is going to use the break to rest his sore right elbow. Springer made this announcement on Thursday, stating "Our team comes first." The 32-year-old first injured his elbow back on June 21. He missed three games with the injury, but didn't land on the injured list. He's been playing through the ailment ever since and he's been struggling at the plate all the while. He's slashed just .178/.260/.378 in July. Hopefully, he can use the extra rest next week to help get himself back on track for the second half of the year.

Overall, the 32-year-old is slashing .248/.331/.471 with an .802 OPS, 15 home runs, 38 RBI, 47 runs scored and eight stolen bases, and he remains a must-start in fantasy when he's on the field.

Raimel Tapia is getting another start in center field and will bat sixth on Saturday against Brewers right-hander Corbin Burnes. Tapia gives fantasy managers very modest production across the board, but he has gone 13-for-41 (.317) with a homer, five RBI and one stolen base in 11 games over the last two weeks for Toronto.

Springer was taken out of Tuesday's game early and didn't play in Wednesday's game with right elbow discomfort. Springer has also been dealing with a sore wrist. Such is life with the 32-year-old, who will provide big numbers when healthy, but he is one of the most at-risk players in terms of injuries.

Fantasy managers should consider the 32-year-old as day-to-day right now, but you should also prepare for a potential injured list stint.
