Overview
- Manager John Schneider said George Springer has resumed throwing and set a hopeful target of Friday for his return, with light running now part of his ramp-up.
- Addison Barger has advanced to a running program at the team’s Dunedin complex after sessions hitting, throwing and fielding.
- Yimi Garcia will face live hitters this week as he works back from elbow surgery that ended his 2025 season.
- Rotation depth is tracking forward, with rehab games lined up for Trey Yesavage and Jose Berrios this week and planned throwing work for Shane Bieber and prospect Ricky Tiedemann.
- Toronto is 9-13 with several regulars on the injured list, so near-term reinforcements could help stabilize the lineup and bullpen as the club tries to build on two straight wins.
