Blue Jays Report Encouraging Injury Progress, With Springer Targeting Late‑Week Return

Toronto needs healthy regulars to steady a slow start below .500.

Overview

  • George Springer has resumed throwing and did light running in Anaheim, with manager John Schneider calling Friday a hopeful return target if progress holds.
  • Addison Barger will start running at the club’s Player Development Complex in Dunedin after completing hitting, throwing, and fielding work.
  • Reliever Yimi Garcia is slated to face hitters Wednesday for the first time since elbow surgery as he advances toward a bullpen return.
  • Pitching plans this week include rehab outings for Trey Yesavage and José Berríos, another bullpen for Shane Bieber, and prospect Ricky Tiedemann throwing bullpens at the PDC.
  • The updates arrive as Toronto sits at 10–13 in a tight AL East, where quick returns from key bats and arms could stabilize the lineup and rotation.
