Overview

  • Springer, who was hit on the left big toe Saturday by a Connor Prielipp slider, exited in the third inning against the Twins.
  • Postgame X-rays showed no new fracture as manager John Schneider said the ball hit the protective guard on Springer's cleat.
  • This was his fourth game back after an April 11 fracture of the same toe that sidelined him for 18 days.
  • Toronto planned to rest him Sunday and will reassess through Monday, giving him a next chance to play in Tampa Bay.
  • The Blue Jays are already short on bats with Alejandro Kirk, Addison Barger, and Nathan Lukes out, which heightens the impact of any further time Springer might miss.
