George Springer left Toronto’s game against Minnesota after being hit on the left foot by a pitch, briefly raising concern because it was the same area where he recently fractured his toe. Later reporting said X-rays showed no new damage.
George Springer left the Blue Jays’ game against the Twins on Saturday after a pitch struck his left foot, creating a fresh injury scare for Toronto.
MLB.com reported that the ball hit the same spot where Springer fractured his left big toe last month. Blue Jays manager John Schneider and the trainer ran out immediately to check on him, and Springer exited in pain in the third inning.
The concern was sharp because of the recent toe fracture, which had already put his status under close watch. But later reporting said X-rays showed no new damage to the foot.
CBS Sports reported that Springer was expected to rest Sunday as planned and could return Monday. That leaves Toronto waiting only on the next routine update rather than a new structural injury diagnosis.
For the Blue Jays, the immediate question now is whether Springer’s recovery stays on track after another painful hit to the same area.
