Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer went 2-for-5 with a pair of singles, an RBI, and two strikeouts in a 4-3 win over the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday.

Thu Apr 6 202312:01George Springer Resting Thursday
Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer is not in the starting lineup on Thursday against the Kansas City Royals. Springer will get his first day off of the 2023 season in the matinee game. With Springer taking a seat, Cavan Biggio is getting the start in right field and is hitting eighth in the lineup against right-hander Jordan Lyles. Shortstop Bo Bichette will hit leadoff for Toronto. The 33-year-old Springer has gone 7-for-29 (.241) in the early going in his first six games, adding two RBI, four runs scored and two stolen bases. He should be back in the lineup on Friday. Biggio will be a low-upside play in fantasy on Thursday near the bottom of the order. He has two hits in his first nine at-bats this year in four games.

Tue Feb 14 202315:38George Springer Feeling Good Heading Into Spring Training
Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (elbow) said that he's feeling better after having surgery on his elbow last October. Springer had a bone spur removed from his right elbow, and he shouldn't have any limitations in camp or early on in the regular season. There is more injury risk with the 33-year-old, but he managed to play in 133 games in his second year in Toronto and slashed .267/.342/.472 with an .814 OPS, 25 home runs, 76 RBI, 89 runs scored and 14 stolen bases. Springer should continue to help in multiple fantasy categories in one of the better lineups in baseball in an excellent home ballpark for hitters, but if you select him in drafts, you'll want to make sure you have some outfield insurance in case he misses time with injury.

Thu Oct 27 202215:18George Springer Has Surgery On Elbow
Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (elbow) had surgery to remove a bone spur from his elbow this week, and the team expects him to be fully recovered by spring training next year. Springer suffered a concussion and a sprained shoulder in the team's final postseason game in the Wild-Card Series against the Seattle Mariners after colliding with shortstop Bo Bichette. The 33-year-old should be fully recovered from those injuries by the start of spring training as well, and he'll once again be a highly coveted fantasy outfielder in 2023 drafts. The four-time All-Star finished his second year in Toronto with a .267/.342/.472 slash line, an .814 OPS, 22 doubles, 25 home runs, 76 RBI, 89 runs scored and 14 stolen bases in 133 games played.

Tue Oct 11 202218:21George Springer Suffers Concussion, Shoulder Sprain
Toronto Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins said that outfielder George Springer (concussion, shoulder) suffered a concussion and a shoulder sprain in the Game 2 loss to the Seattle Mariners in the Wild-Card Series last Saturday when he was involved in a scary collision with shortstop Bo Bichette. Springer remains in Toronto, but the team believes he'll be cleared to travel soon. The 33-year-old had to be carted off the field and likely wouldn't have been available if the series had gone to a deciding third game on Sunday. In the two games of the Wild-Card Series, Springer went 2-for-7 with three strikeouts. He finished the regular season with a .267/.342/.472 slash line, an .814 OPS, 25 home runs, 76 RBI, 89 runs scored and 14 stolen bases in 513 at-bats.

Sat Oct 8 202220:26George Springer Exits Early After Scary Collision
Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer exited Saturday's game early against the Seattle Mariners after colliding with shortstop Bo Bichette in the field. The 33-year-old waved to the crowd as he was carted off the field. Springer crashed down to the field after his head hit Bichette's arm. The severity of Springer's injury is unknown, and he's considered day-to-day. He was dealing with a wrist injury heading into Game 2 of the Wild Card round and suffered a new injury. Bichette managed to stay in the game. The Blue Jays lost the series to the Mariners 2-0; Springer will have an entire offseason to be ready for Spring Training.

Sat Oct 8 202211:32George Springer, Santiago Espinal In Game 2 Lineup
Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (wrist) and infielder Santiago Espinal (oblique) are both in the starting lineup for Game 2 of the American League Wild-Card Series on Saturday against Seattle Mariners left-hander Robbie Ray. Springer is in center field and hitting leadoff, while Espinal is manning the keystone and batting ninth. Springer was hit by a pitch late in the Game 1 loss, but X-rays were negative and he'll be back in there after going 2-for-3 on Friday. Espinal missed the last couple weeks of regular season action due to an oblique issue, but he'll return to the lineup on Saturday as Toronto looks to avoid elimination. The 27-year-old All-Star hit .267/.322/.370 with seven homers, 51 RBI, 51 runs and six steals in 135 games in 2022.

Sat Oct 8 202211:14X-Rays Negative On George Springer's Wrist
X-rays came back negative on Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer's wrist after he was hit by a pitch in the Game 1 loss to the Seattle Mariners in the American League Wild-Card Series on Friday, according to manager John Schneider. Springer was hit by the pitch in the eighth inning and managed to finish out the 4-0 shutout loss, but it remains to be seen if the 33-year-old outfielder will be in the lineup on Saturday as the Blue Jays look to avoid elimination at home. Springer managed to go 2-for-3 with the hit by pitch in his four plate appearances, and if he's unable to suit up in Game 2 on Saturday, it will be a huge loss for the Jays at the top of their lineup.

Tue Aug 23 202216:21George Springer Back As The DH Tuesday
Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (knee) is serving as the designated hitter and batting leadoff on Tuesday against the Boston Red Sox and right-hander Josh Winckowski. Springer will return to the lineup on Tuesday after being out since last Thursday when he fouled a ball off his knee. He has hits in his last seven at-bats, though, and his fantasy managers are hoping he can stay hot after resting recently. The 32-year-old veteran should be returned to all starting fantasy lineups against Winckowski. On the season, Springer is hitting .269/.345/.479 with an .824 OPS, 18 home runs, 51 RBI, 64 runs scored and 10 stolen bases in 353 at-bats.

Sun Aug 21 202211:36Teoscar Hernandez Returns, George Springer Still Out

However, outfielder George Springer (knee) remains on the bench. Hernandez left the game early on Saturday after fouling a ball off his left foot, but he's back in there and should be back in starting fantasy lineups as well. The 29-year-old is hitting .265/.316/.487 with an .804 OPS, 18 homers, 58 RBI, 49 runs and six stolen bases on the season. Springer is missing his third straight game after going 5-for-5 on Thursday.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (knee) remains out of the starting lineup on Saturday against the New York Yankees.

Considered him day-to-day for now and get him back into your lineups immediately when he returns. Jackie Bradley Jr. is starting in center field and batting ninth on Saturday against Yankees right-hander Gerrit Cole. Bradley has one hit in six at-bats in his first seven games with Toronto, and he's hitting .209 on the year with only three home runs in 98 games. Avoid him in DFS against Cole.

Fri Aug 19 202218:17George Springer Out Of Lineup Friday
Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (knee) is not in the lineup Friday after fouling a ball off his knee in Thursday's game against the New York Yankees. Springer has dealt with his fair share of injuries over the last few years, and although this doesn't sound like a serious injury, the Jays will likely take every precaution to ensure their star outfielder is healthy down the stretch. Springer is having a productive fantasy season, slashing .267/.343/.477 with 18 homers and 10 swipes. Expect the five-category production to continue when Springer gets back in the lineup, which could be as soon as Saturday. Whit Merrifield will take over Springer in centerfield tonight.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer has been on fire with the bat since returning from the injured list. He went 5-for-5 with an RBI during Thursday's victory over the New York Yankees. The 32-year-old was one hit shy of his career high, but it was still an outstanding performance by Springer. The right-hander slugger is 9-for-14 since coming off the injured list. He sounds like a strong DFS right now and should remain in the starting lineup in all fantasy leagues.

Wed Aug 17 202214:36George Springer Not Starting Wednesday
Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer isn't in the team's starting lineup for a matchup with the Baltimore Orioles and right-handed pitcher Austin Voth on Wednesday. Instead, it'll be Raimel Tapia starting in center field and hitting seventh against Voth and the Orioles. The 28-year-old is currently hitting .274 with a .296 on-base percentage, five home runs and five stolen bases in 312 plate appearances this season. He's worth a look as a streaming option for fantasy managers in deeper leagues.

Mon Aug 15 202215:09George Springer Activated From Injured List
The Toronto Blue Jays activated outfielder George Springer (elbow) from the 10-day injured list on Monday and designated outfielder Bradley Zimmer for assignment in a corresponding move. Springer will be active for Monday's game against the Baltimore Orioles, but it remains to be seen if he'll be in the starting lineup against right-hander Kyle Bradish. The 32-year-old has been dealing with a nagging elbow injury, but when he's back in the lineup, he should be returned to all fantasy lineups in single-year formats. Before landing on the injured list, Springer was hitting .251/.331/.464 with 18 home runs, 49 RBI, 59 runs scored and 10 stolen bases in 338 at-bats.

Fri Aug 12 202218:52George Springer Begins Hitting, Throwing
Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (elbow) has been hitting and is expected to begin throwing Friday. Springer has been on the IL since August 5th, although he's been dealing with the issue since late July. The hope is that his stint on the injured list will at least allow Springer to feel less pain when he plays. He could return early next week if all goes well. The fantasy stud has a .251 AVG, 18 HR, 59 R, 49 RBI, and 10 SB in 338 AB. He should remain a solid five-category contributor at the top of a strong Blue Jays lineup. Be on the lookout for updates on Springer early next week.
