Springer Back in Action as Jays Navigate Injury Toll

George Springer left Saturday’s game with a left toe injury, but X-rays showed no new fracture and he’s expected to return Monday in Tampa after a four-hit showing since coming back. Toronto’s injury woes extend to catcher Alejandro Kirk (thumb), Addison Barger (ankles), and Nathan Lukes (hamstring). In other AL East notes, Red Sox pitcher Justin Slaten begins a rehab assignment, Griffin Jax is being stretched back into a starter role for the Rays, and Gavin Lux continues to deal with left ankle stiffness after a shoulder rehab, highlighting the division’s ongoing roster churn.

Springer Returns as Jays DFA Eloy Jiménez

Toronto reinstates George Springer from the IL and designates Eloy Jiménez for assignment; Jiménez, a bat-only player, hit .290/.343/.290 with 82 wRC+ in 35 plate appearances and didn’t play the field, so Springer’s return at DH shrinks Jiménez’s roster role. Jiménez now heads to DFA waivers or release as Toronto, dealing with injuries and a 13-16 start, seeks stability.

Blue Jays Bring Back George Springer, Highlighting Strong Rehab Performance

The Toronto Blue Jays have reinstated outfielder George Springer from the injured list after recovering from a concussion, and he is expected to contribute significantly as they aim for their first division title since 2015. Springer has rebounded with a strong season at the plate, and his return may influence the team's strategic use of him primarily as a designated hitter. Joey Loperfido was optioned to Triple-A but performed well since his call-up, and may return to the majors soon.
