Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (wrist) remains out of action for Wednesday's series finale against the Atlanta Braves at the Rogers Centre. Alan Roden will get another start in left field and will bat sixth against Braves right-hander Spencer Strider (elbow), who is making his first start of the season. This will be Springer's third straight game on the bench as he deals with inflammation in his left wrist. Toronto has a day off on Thursday before starting a weekend series against the visiting Seattle Mariners on Friday, so fantasy managers will want to check back then to see if the 35-year-old veteran is back in the lineup. As of right now, Toronto is treating Springer as day-to-day, and he could even be available off the bench on Wednesday. Roden clubbed his first home run of the season in Tuesday's win over Atlanta but will be in store for a tough matchup against Strider on Wednesday.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (wrist) will miss his second-straight contest on Tuesday evening when the Blue Jays continue a series against the Atlanta Braves. Springer suffered this injury during Sunday's contest against the Baltimore Orioles. Fantasy managers should continue to keep an eye on his status as he works his way back from this injury. As a result, Addison Barger will get the nod in right field, while Alan Roden and Myles Straw cover left and center, respectively. Springer has enjoyed a strong start to the early season, posting a stellar .375/.436/.604 slash line. He has tallied two home runs and swiped two bags. Under the hood, he has generated an elite .408 xwOBA. Fantasy managers should not target the Toronto offense this evening in DFS, facing Atlanta right-hander Spencer Schwellenbach.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (wrist) is dealing with inflammation in his left wrist and is not in the starting lineup for Monday's series opener against the visiting Atlanta Braves at Rogers Centre. The good news is that X-rays that Springer took in Baltimore came back negative, and he's considered day-to-day. He also underwent an MRI exam, which came back negative, and manager John Schneider said Springer would take batting practice and see how he feels. The 35-year-old left Sunday's win over the Orioles after injuring his wrist during an at-bat. Springer has dodged a serious injury, but he won't play on Monday, and fantasy managers will need to check back to see if he's active on Tuesday. Alan Roden is drawing the start in left field on Monday and is hitting sixth against Braves right-hander Grant Holmes. He has never faced Holmes in his career.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (wrist) was removed early during Sunday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. The veteran outfielder appeared to have suffered a left wrist injury during a plate appearance in the fifth inning. He was pulled out of the contest and finished his day 0-for-3 with a strikeout. The assumption is that Springer will undergo further testing to determine the severity of the injury. Springer has been on a tear to start the season, so hopefully this is only a day-to-day type of issue. Fantasy managers will need to check back for another update on his status. Will Wagner and Alan Roden could see more playing time if Springer does miss time.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer had a big night in a 6-2 win over the Boston Red Sox on Monday. Springer went 4-for-4 with a run and three RBI to help propel the Blue Jays to the win over their division rivals. The veteran notched a single in each of his four at-bats, giving him six games with at least two hits in the early going this season. Springer missed Sunday's game after leaving early with back spasms but he appears to be over the issue now. Overall, he's hitting .455 with one homer, five runs, eight RBI, and two steals over 33 at-bats this season. He is worth a spot in fantasy starting lineups while he's hot at the plate.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (back) is back in right field and is hitting fifth for Monday's series opener against the division-rival Boston Red Sox and right-hander Richard Fitts at Fenway Park. Springer was pulled from Saturday's game against the New York Mets in the ninth inning after he crashed into the outfield wall and was diagnosed with back spasms. The 35-year-old veteran didn't start Sunday's series finale but appeared a a pinch-runner and is now back in the starting lineup a day later. Fantasy managers will be hoping that Springer can pick up where he left off at the plate. The four-time All-Star has so far gone 11-for-29 (.379) with a home run, two doubles, a triple, five RBI, two stolen bases, four runs scored, four walks and 11 strikeouts in 10 games played. Springer has never faced the rookie Fitts in his career.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (back) is absent from Sunday's starting lineup at Citi Field against the hosting New York Mets. It's not a surprise that Springer isn't in there after crashing into the wall in the ninth inning in Saturday's loss and being removed due to lower-back spasms. The good news is that the 35-year-old veteran didn't require any testing after getting hurt on Saturday and was able to do pre-game workouts on Sunday in New York. It's possible he'll be able to return to the lineup for Monday's series opener in Boston against the division-rival Red Sox at Fenway Park, but fantasy managers will want to check back in on that. The four-time All-Star went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts on Saturday, but he's hitting .379 (11-for-29) in the early going with a homer, two doubles, a triple and five RBI. Anthony Santander is in right and Alejandro Kirk is the DH on Sunday versus Mets left-hander David Peterson.

Updating a previous report, Toronto Blue Jays manager John Schneider said that outfielder George Springer (back) suffered lower-back spasms after crashing into the wall in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the New York Mets. The Blue Jays don't have plans for an MRI exam or further tests on Springer, but he'll be re-evaluated on Sunday. After crashing into the wall in the ninth inning at Citi Field, the 35-year-old walked off the field with trainer Jose Ministral and Schneider, and Nathan Lukes took over in right field. The fact that he's not undergoing further tests is a sign that Springer avoided a serious injury, but it would be a surprise to see him in the starting lineup for the series finale against the Mets. Perhaps he'll be ready for the start of a series in Boston versus the division-rival Red Sox at Fenway Park on Monday. Springer was 0-for-4 with three strikeouts on Saturday before leaving, so it was a rough day for the veteran.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (back) exited Saturday's game versus the New York Mets early after crashing into the wall during the eighth inning. Springer was chasing down a ball hit by Jesse Winker and collided into the right field wall awkwardly. The 35-year-old finished the play but appeared in a lot of pain. He was helped off the field by trainers and replaced in the game by Nathan Lukes. Springer went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in Saturday's 3-2 loss. The Blue Jays will provide more updates on Springer's status; he is considered day-to-day for now. Springer was off to a hot start this season, hitting .379 (11-for-29) with a home run, five RBI, and a stolen base over nine games. Lukes would see an uptick in playing time if Springer were to miss any time, but it is mainly an option in deep-league formats. Update:According to Blue Jays manager John Schneider, Springer suffered lower back spasms after hitting the wall. He will be re-evaluated on Sunday.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer went 1-for-3 with a solo home run (his first of the year), a walk and two strikeouts as the designated hitter in Wednesday's 4-2 victory over the visiting Washington Nationals at Rogers Centre. Not many fantasy managers were probably expecting the 35-year-old veteran to start the 2025 season as hot as he has. Through seven games played, Springer is now 9-for-21 with three extra-base hits and a 1.187 OPS. His homer came in the fourth inning off left-hander MacKenzie Gore. While Springer has shown clear signs of decline in Toronto the last couple of years, he's still a lineup regular for the Jays and is proving that he can still go on useful runs for fantasy managers. While he's hot, keep riding him into a weekend series against the New York Mets.

Toronto Blue Jays manager John Schneider said that the team might use outfielder George Springer "in left a little bit" in 2025, a spot that he's played just once for three innings in the majors before. The move would let new outfielder Anthony Santander play some right field. As for Springer hitting leadoff this year, Schneider said he'll bat leadoff and a "variety of guys, really" could also hit atop the batting order and it "depends on who we're facing." In addition to Springer, infielders Bo Bichette, Will Wagner and Andres Gimenez are candidates to hit leadoff for the Jays. Springer, now 35, has fallen out of RotoBaller's top-50 outfielder rankings after a rough 2024 campaign in which he hit .220/.303/.371 with 19 home runs, 56 RBI and 16 steals in 545 at-bats. The former first-rounder's ground-ball rate spiked, and he could lose further fantasy appeal if he's dropped further down the lineup more often than not.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer and catcher Alejandro Kirk are both out of the starting lineup on Saturday against the Los Angeles Angels at Rogers Centre. Rookie Addison Barger, who had a walk-off home run on Friday night, is starting in right field and is hitting seventh, while Brian Serven is doing the catching and batting ninth against Angels right-hander Carson Fulmer. Springer could use the day off after going hitless in eight at-bats with two strikeouts in the last two contests against the Halos. He's also hitting just .171 (13-for-76) in 19 games in August, although he has contributed four home runs, a double, triple and 10 RBI. Barger, 24, does have two home runs this month, but he's mostly struggled in his first 123 MLB at-bats, going 22-for-123 (.179) with four home runs, 17 RBI and 11 runs scored for the Jays.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer erupted in Tuesday night's win over the visiting Cincinnati Reds at Rogers Centre, blasting two home runs in the victory. Springer hit a two-run homer off Reds right-hander Carson Spiers to left field to push the Blue Jays ahead 4-1 in the second inning, later homering again on a fly ball to left field to put Toronto on top 10-1 in the fifth frame on Tuesday against Cincinnati. The 34-year-old former All-Star had a brutal start to the season, but he's looked a lot better over the last month and a half or so, batting a healthy .269 (46-for-171) with nine homers, 31 RBI, and 28 runs scored in his last 45 outings.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer is out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the New York Yankees. The veteran outfielder returned from a shin injury on Saturday. That being said, Springer appears to be getting a routine rest day here, so fantasy managers shouldn't need to worry about the injury anymore. Addison Barger will cover right field and bat seventh versus right-hander Gerrit Cole. Fantasy managers should be able to find a better streaming option than Barger in this tough matchup.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (shin) fouled a pitch off his left shin in the sixth inning before leaving Friday night's game against the division-rival New York Yankees in the Bronx. He underwent precautionary X-rays that were negative, and Springer is just dealing with a contusion. It's encouraging news for the Blue Jays and fantasy managers after Springer didn't come out for the seventh frame, with the switch-hitting Steward Berroa taking over in right field. The 34-year-old former All-Star was one of fantasy's biggest busts for most of the first half of the season, but he's looked a lot better over his last 31 games, batting .322 (37-for-115) with eight home runs, seven doubles, 26 RBI, and 22 runs scored since June 25. Springer should be deemed day-to-day ahead of Saturday's showdown against the Yankees. If he gets a day or two off to recover, Addison Barger is another option alongside Berroa in Toronto's outfield.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer will retreat to the bench on Sunday as the Blue Jays look for the three-game series sweep of the visiting Texas Rangers. With Springer sitting, rookie Addison Barger will draw into the lineup in right field and will bat seventh against Rangers right-hander Jon Gray. The 34-year-old Springer is hitting only .227 (81-for-357) on the year, but he's been useful in most fantasy leagues for his power/speed contributions as a lineup regular in Toronto with 13 long balls, 12 stolen bases, 40 RBI and 50 runs scored in 97 games played. The four-time All-Star has also been much better in the month of July, going 22-for-81 (.272) with five round-trippers, four doubles, a triple, 15 RBI, six walks and four stolen bases in 21 games. Barger will be facing Gray for the first time in his career.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer is serving as the designated hitter and is batting leadoff on Wednesday versus the visiting Houston Astros and right-hander Ronel Blanco. A rough start to the season got Springer dropped near the bottom of Toronto's batting order in May, but a recent offensive resurgence has allowed the 34-year-old to get another shot as the table-setter for a Blue Jays team looking for a spark. Springer is currently riding a seven-game hitting streak in which he's gone 12-for-24 with four home runs, two doubles, 12 RBI and five runs scored to raise his season slash line to .215/.301/.349 with a .650 OPS in 284 at-bats. He's probably going to need to stay hot to remain in the leadoff spot, and he'll have a tough matchup on Wednesday against Blanco, who he's gone hitless against in five career at-bats.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (hand) is back in the starting lineup on Saturday against the visiting New York Yankees and left-hander Nestor Cortes after leaving Friday's contest early after he was hit in the left hand by a pitch in the fifth inning. He is hitting fifth in the batting order. Springer's overall numbers this year -- .207 average, eight home runs, 25 RBI, eight stolen bases, 34 runs scored -- leave a lot to be desired, but he's been heating up at the dish of late. The 34-year-old veteran has two three-hit performances in his last three games with three home runs and nine total RBI. Still, in the month of June, he's hit only .205 (17-for-83) but with four home runs, two doubles, 13 RBI and a stolen bases in 24 games. In his career against Cortes, he has two hits (a solo homer) in 10 at-bats.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (hand) was removed early during Friday's game against the New York Yankees. Springer was pulled from the contest after getting hit by a pitch on the wrist. He underwent imaging on his hand that came back negative. That is good news but doesn't officially mean Springer will be completely fine. For now, fantasy managers should consider Springer as day-to-day. There should be another update on his status this weekend. In the meantime, Davis Schneider who took over for Springer could see more playing time over the next few days.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer had a monster day at the plate on Thursday, going 3-for-3 with a pair of three-run homers to lead the Jays to a 9-2 win over the New York Yankees. Springer hit both his homers off Yanks starter Carlos Rodon, with one coming in each of the first two innings. It has been an abysmal year for Springer, but he is finally showing signs of life with three homers in his last two games. That doesn't mean he's back to his old self, but it is certainly a welcome sign of life for the veteran.
