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.
Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer had a nice game at the plate in Monday's 5-1 win over the White Sox. The 34-year-old went 2-for-3 with a single, a two-run home run, and a walk. Springer crushed a second-inning Nick Nastrini fastball into the left-center seats for his fourth HR of the season. Springer has seven stolen bases but has been dreadful offensively otherwise, slashing just .196/.274/.296 with 11 RBI in 201 plate appearances. He has been a solid fantasy option throughout his career and still can produce power and speed, making him a worthwhile roto player. However, fantasy managers in shallower points leagues may be able to find more impactful players to pick up.
