George Springer held out of lineup versus Rays

George Springer

TOR Designated Hitter #4

Player Stats

George Springer is out of the Toronto lineup Wednesday against the Rays.

Alejandro Kirk is DHing tonight. Springer, who went 3-for-4 with a double and a steal against the Rays last night, hasn’t started more than two games in a row in nearly two weeks now and there have been times when it’s looked like he’s playing at considerably less than 100 percent.

Kazuma Okamoto is back in the Blue Jays lineup Wednesday after missing two games with a knee contusion.

Okamoto is DHing tonight, suggesting the knee is still bothering him some. George Springer is taking a seat with Okamoto in his spot.

TOR Designated Hitter #4

George Springer (shoulder) is back in the lineup for Monday’s series opener against the Red Sox.

Springers returns to DH and will hit cleanup after missing a pair of games over the weekend with left shoulder tightness. It doesn’t appear to be a significant concern moving forward.
George Springer

TOR Designated Hitter #4

George Springer (shoulder) was held out of the Blue Jays’ starting lineup for the second consecutive game on Sunday.

Springer was scratched from Saturday’s lineup due to tightness in his left shoulder and they’ll give him an extra day to rest on Sunday as well. The expectation is that he’ll once again be available off the bench if needed and he’s still considered day-to-day. Jesus Sanchez will serve as the team’s designated hitter while Myles Straw starts in left field and will bat ninth against Phillies’ left-hander Jesus Luzardo.

TOR Designated Hitter #4

George Springer was scratched from Saturday’s lineup against the Phillies because of left shoulder tightness.

Myles Straw replaced him, with Jesús Sánchez switching from left field to DH. Springer is likely day-to-day.
George Springer

TOR Designated Hitter #4

George Springer finished 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI as the Blue Jays bested the Cardinals 5-1 on Saturday.

Springer has hit in seven straight games, and he’s at .303 with four homers, 15 RBI and just eight strikeouts in 17 games since coming off the injured list last month. With the way he’s bounced back, he should net the Jays a significant prospect if, as a 10-and-five player, he’s willing to accept a trade.
George Springer

TOR Designated Hitter #4

George Springer hit a three-run homer and walked Tuesday in a losing cause against the Nationals.

Springer is 12-for-34 with two homers, eight RBI and just two strikeouts in his last nine games. He’s batting cleanup right now, but since he’s heating up, the Jays could go back to him in the leadoff spot soon.
George Springer

TOR Designated Hitter #4

George Springer went 2-for-5 with a three-run homer to power the Blue Jays to a 6-0 win over the Red Sox on Saturday.

Springer singled to lead off the second inning, then highlighted a five-run third inning for the Blue Jays with a three-run blast off Sonny Gray. The 36-year-old outfielder is up to 11 homers, 35 runs scored, 30 RBI, and seven steals while hitting .229/.312/.396 across 327 plate appearances. Springer, with an expiring contract, could be a target for a competing team at the deadline.
George Springer

TOR Designated Hitter #4

George Springer went 2-for-3 with a double and an RBI in Thursday’s 3-1 win over the Rays.

Springer lined a hot smash to the right of shortstop Ben Williamson to knock in Yohendrick Piñango and put the Blue Jays up 2-1. He’d later add a double, but was stranded on the basepaths. Springer is hitting .237/.286/.407 over this last 15 games with two homers and is probably on the cut line in mixed leagues at this point, but perhaps this will get him going.
George Springer

TOR Designated Hitter #4

George Springer is not in the Blue Jays’ starting lineup for Sunday’s battle against the White Sox.

The Blue Jays have been careful to mix in off days for Springer in an effort to keep him healthy for the remainder of the season. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. will serve as the club’s designated hitter in his absence while Sean Keys draws a start at first base and will bat sixth against White Sox’ right-hander Sean Burke on Sunday afternoon in Toronto.
George Springer

TOR Designated Hitter #4

George Springer went 1-for-4 with a homer and two RBI in Fridays’ loss to the White Sox.

Springer hit into a fielder’s choice in the third inning to drive in the Blue Jays’ first run of the game. In the fifth inning, he would homer off of White Sox reliever Trevor Richards for his 10th big fly of the season. It’s still hard to imagine that this is where we are a year after Springer slugged 32 homers and drove in 88 runs, but he remains a shell of the player we saw last season.

Dodgers’ manager Dave Roberts told reporters on Sunday that he thinks Andy Pages underwent a minor surgical procedure to repair a left hand fracture.

There’s still no clear timeline for his potential return to action, but it’s encouraging to hear that the procedure was minor. As long as the Dodgers have him back in time for the postseason, they’re not going to rush his rehab.

Jac Caglianone was a late scratch from the Royals’ lineup on Sunday due to renewed ankle soreness.

It’s an issue that has been nagging at Caglianone for a while now and the same injury that caused him to miss Thursday’s game after making an early exit on Wednesday. It’s possible that if it continues to linger it could require a trip to the injured list.

Teel has been shelved since the end of July due to a high ankle sprain. He should only need a couple of games there to get his timing back and could be an option to rejoin the White Sox at some point next weekend barring any setbacks.

Carter started against each of the other three left-handers that the Rangers faced this week, but he’ll get a breather in this one with Yusei Kikuchi taking the ball for the Halos. Ezequiel Duran will cover center field in his absence while Justin Foscue starts at second base and bats leadoff for the Rangers.

Diamondbacks designated RHP Zack Littell for assignment.

With Drey Jameson returning from the injured list on Sunday, the Diamondbacks needed to free up a spot on their active roster and Littell drew the short straw. The 30-year-old hurler posted a 7.50 ERA, 2.08 WHIP and a 3/4 K/BB ratio over 12 innings in three appearances with the Diamondbacks.

Félix Bautista (shoulder) struggled in his first minor league rehab appearance at Double-A Chesapeake on Sunday, recording only one out.

The 31-year-old hurler faced five batters in the ballgame — allowing a hit and three walks in the process. He threw just 10 of his 22 pitches for strikes while maxing out at 97-mph on the radar gun. It’s going to take some time to shake off the rust following Tommy John surgery, so expect inconsistency upon his return.
