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.

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.

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.

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.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (wrist) was hit by a pitch in the wrist during the first game of the Wild Card series on Friday against the Seattle Mariners. He ended up staying in the game and went 2-for-3 with a pair of singles. Test results came back negative, according to Shi Davidi of Sportsnet, but Springer's status for game two on Saturday remains up in the air. The 33-year-old had another quality season with the bat, slashing .267/.342/.472 with 25 HRs, 89 runs, 76 RBI, and 14 SBs over 133 games, the most he's played in a season since 2018.

When he isn't dealing with injuries, Springer's a five-category contributor in a strong Toronto lineup. Fantasy managers should start him in every league and hope he stays healthy for the rest of the season.

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.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (foot) is back in the starting lineup on Sunday against New York Yankees left-hander Nestor Cortes, serving as the designated hitter and batting cleanup. 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. However, he could return as soon as Monday. Jackie Bradley Jr. is in center field and hitting ninth against Cortes.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (right elbow inflammation) has been placed on the 10-day injured list, according to an announcement from the club. The move is retroactive to August 5th.

He has played in just one game over the last week and will presumably be replaced by newcomer Whit Merrifield for the time being.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (elbow) is back in the starting lineup on Thursday against Minnesota Twins right-hander Sonny Gray, serving as the designated hitter while manning his usual leadoff spot in the batting order. Springer will return to action after missing four of the team's last five games with a lingering elbow injury. While the Blue Jays are easing him back in as the DH, the 32-year-old should be returned to all fantasy lineups in single-year leagues. In just six games played since the All-Star break, Springer has gone 7-for-26 (.269) with a homer, five RBI, five runs scored and a stolen base. Overall, his line stands at .251/.330/.467 with 18 home runs, 47 RBI, 58 runs scored and 10 stolen bases in 334 at-bats.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (elbow) remains out of the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Tampa Bay Rays. It will be the fourth time that Springer has sat out in the team's last five games, leaving some to wonder if his elbow injury is much more serious than the team is letting on. For now, fantasy managers have to consider him day-to-day while keeping him on their benches. Raimel Tapia is back in center field and is hitting ninth on Wednesday against Rays left-hander Jalen Beeks. Tapia is swinging the bat well this year, but he's not as strong against lefties while hitting from the left side of the plate. He's gone 10-for-38 (.263) against southpaws in 2022 with only one of his five home runs.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (elbow) won't suit up against the Rays on Tuesday evening. He suffered the injury last Thursday, missed Friday's game, and returned Saturday. However, he was out of the lineup again on Sunday and now misses his second consecutive contest. Springer is slashing an impressive .251/.330/.467 with 18 homers, 47 RBI, 35 walks, 72 strikeouts, and 10 stolen bases. Lourdes Gurriel Jr. will occupy the leadoff spot in his absence while Raimel Tapia patrols center field. As soon as Springer is healthy again, he belongs in your fantasy lineup.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer is not in the starting lineup on Sunday against the Detroit Tigers. Springer missed Friday's game with a minor elbow injury, but he returned on Saturday and went 0-for-3 with a run scored and a walk. He'll get a normal day of rest on Sunday in the series finale. Raimel Tapia will once again fill in for him in center field and will hit eighth against Tigers right-hander Garrett Hill. Tapia doesn't have a ton of power and isn't a high-upside DFS play at the bottom of the batting order, but he's been swinging a strong bat all season, slashing .284/.306/.410 with five home runs, 36 RBI, 30 runs scored and five stolen bases in 261 at-bats for Toronto.
