George Springer's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

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.
