Fri Jul 29 202216:04George Springer Not Starting Friday
Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (elbow) is not in the starting lineup on Friday against the Detroit Tigers. Springer left the game early on Thursday with right elbow discomfort, but he also said he felt fine, insinuating that his injury isn't all that serious. It sounds like the Blue Jays are just giving him an extra rest, so we should see Springer again at some point this weekend. Springer will be available off the bench on Friday. Raimel Tapia is starting in center field and batting seventh on Friday against Tigers right-hander Bryan Garcia. Tapia doesn't have a whole lot of power, but he's been swinging a hot bat in 2022 and has gone 19-for-47 (.404) with two home runs, 14 RBI, a steal and seven runs scored in 15 games in July.

Fri Jul 15 202208:35George Springer Will Skip All-Star Game To Rest Elbow
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.

Thu Jul 7 202219:09George Springer Out Again Thursday

He's hitting just .195 (16-for-82) with 15 strikeouts in 22 games over the last 28 days, so perhaps the Blue Jays just want to give him a break to clear his head. 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.

Sat Jun 25 202214:25George Springer Out Again Saturday
Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (elbow) remains out of the starting lineup on Saturday against the Milwaukee Brewers. Springer left the game early on Tuesday with left elbow pain, and he hasn't played since. For now, fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day. The 32-year-old is an everyday player in fantasy when healthy, and hopefully he won't require a trip to the injured list and can return at some point this weekend. 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.

Fri Jun 24 202218:57George Springer Remains Out Friday But Could Pinch Hit
Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (elbow) remains out Friday against the Milwaukee Brewers, but he could be available to pinch hit. That is awesome news, as Springer has had his injury problems in the past, and fantasy managers had to be worried that this latest injury could be a long one. 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. It sounds like he is likely to avoid an injured list stint and could return soon, so keep an eye on his status.

Wed Jun 22 202213:46George Springer Undergoing More Testing
Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (elbow) is undergoing more testing on his right elbow in Chicago on Wednesday, and he will not be in the starting lineup against Chicago White Sox right-hander Lucas Giolito. Zack Collins is on the taxi squad and could be called up to the active roster ahead of the weekend series against the Milwaukee Brewers, depending on how Springer responds to treatment over the next 48 hours. 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. Raimel Tapia is starting in center field and is hitting seventh on Wednesday, and he could benefit from more playing time if Springer is forced to the injured list.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer and third baseman Matt Chapman (wrist) are not in the starting lineup on Thursday against the Baltimore Orioles. Springer has a scheduled day off, while Chapman is out because his right wrist is bothering him again, according to manager Charlie Montoyo. Raimel Tapia is in center field and batting sixth, while Santiago Espinal is playing the hot corner and hitting leadoff on Thursday against Orioles right-hander Tyler Wells. Chapman hit homers on Tuesday and Wednesday, but he was out for three straight games before that with right wrist soreness, so it's something to watch. Espinal will be a solid DFS target on Thursday, as he's hitting .298/.350/.451 with an .801 OPS, five homers, 31 RBI, 25 runs scored and three stolen bases on the season.
