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.
