Overview
- Springer rejoined the lineup Tuesday as the leadoff designated hitter against the Rays after missing two games.
- X-rays taken Saturday after a pitch struck his left big toe showed no new damage to the area that was fractured in April.
- Manager John Schneider indicated Monday that Springer would be available off the bench with a plan for a full return Tuesday.
- The protective guard on Springer's cleat took most of Saturday's impact, which the team said helped prevent further injury.
- Toronto kept him off the injured list to maintain options as it manages other lineup absences during a sluggish start.
