The Toronto Blue Jays placed outfielder George Springer (concussion) on the seven-day concussion injured list on Friday and reinstated outfielder Daulton Varsho (hamstring) from the 10-day IL in a corresponding move. Springer was hit in the head by a pitch on Monday. The 35-year-old was reportedly feeling better a few days later, but the Blue Jays will play it safe and hold him out until at least next Tuesday. It sounds like he'll have a good shot at being ready to play in Colorado against the Rockies by then. Fantasy managers will want to keep Springer rostered everywhere until he returns, as he's having a bounce-back campaign in 2025 with a .291/.383/.506 slash line, .889 OPS, 18 long balls, 57 RBI, 66 runs scored and 12 steals for the Jays. The newly acquired Ty France could serve as the primary DH for Toronto until Springer is back.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (head) remains out of Wednesday's series finale at Camden Yards against the division-rival Baltimore Orioles and right-hander Dean Kremer. Meanwhile, outfielder Joey Loperfido (thumb) is starting in right field and will bat leadoff on Wednesday after jamming his left thumb on a play at the plate in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader. The 26-year-old sat out Game 2 as a precaution but is now back in the lineup and will be a DFS sleeper out of the leadoff spot. Springer was hit by a pitch on his ear flap in Monday's series opener in Baltimore and will miss his third straight game. The 35-year-old veteran is hoping to avoid a stint on the injured list and has been feeling better, so perhaps he'll be cleared to play for Friday's series opener against the Kansas City Royals after a scheduled off day on Thursday.

Toronto Blue Jays manager John Schneider says outfielder George Springer (head) continues progressing and that the hope from Springer and the team remains that he can avoid the injured list, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet reports. Springer was drilled in the head on Monday, and understandably, missed both of Tuesday's games. He did report improvement before Tuesday's contest, suggesting he is feeling better. However, it remains likely that Springer will continue to sit out a few games. At this point, the question is whether or not he will land on the IL. Because Springer is primarily the designated hitter, Schneider has the option to move and tweak the lineup the way he wants. That being said, Leo Jimenez and Alan Roden may see a slight uptick in playing time, but neither of them are recommended off the waiver wire. Springer's bat will be missed, as he is slashing a very productive .291/.383/.506 with 18 home runs, 57 RBI, 12 stolen bases, and 66 runs scored in 344 at-bats.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (head) remains out of the starting lineup for both games of Tuesday's doubleheader versus the Baltimore Orioles. Springer was forced to make an early exit from Monday's game after getting hit in the head by a pitch. He is reportedly feeling better, but will still take a seat for both of Tuesday's contests. Fantasy managers should consider Springer as day-to-day right now. Davis Schneider served as the designated hitter in Game 1, while Bo Bichette takes over as DH for the nightcap.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (head) is not in the starting lineup for Game 1 of a doubleheader on Tuesday against the division-rival Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards. Davis Schneider is serving as the designated hitter and will bat second against Orioles right-hander Charlie Morton. Springer was hit in the head by a pitch in Monday's series opener and was pulled from the game. It's unclear if the 35-year-old is in the league's concussion protocol or if he'll be available for the second game of the double dip, so fantasy managers will need to check back for an update soon. Toronto can ill-afford to lose Springer for an extended period of time, as he's been one of their best spark plugs on offense in a resurgent 2025 season, slashing .291/.383/.506 with an .889 OPS, 18 home runs, 57 RBI, 66 runs and 12 stolen bases in 344 at-bats.

Toronto Blue Jays manager John Schneider said after Monday's 11-4 loss to the Orioles that outfielder/designated hitter George Springer (shoulder/head) is "doing all right" after being hit by a pitch in the ninth inning. The incident was a scary one, as Springer had a 96 MPH fastball clip his shoulder but strike him in the side of the helmet. Schneider said that Springer was alert after being hit. He went 0-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout before exiting. This is overall great news for the 35-year-old, who is having a resurgent season. Springer has slashed .291/.383/.506 with 18 home runs, 57 RBI, and 12 stolen bases in 408 plate appearances. Fantasy managers should wait to see if he will return to the lineup next, although it seems reasonable that he may get at least a day off.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer's red-hot run continued in an 8-5 win over the New York Yankees on Thursday. Springer belted a pair of two-run homers, his 14th and 15th of the season, in a 3-for-4 night. He also drew a walk and scored an additional run as Toronto finished off a four-game sweep of New York. Springer had a dream series against the Yankees, going 8-for-14 with four HRs, 11 RBI, seven runs, and four walks. After a down 2024, the 35-year-old has returned to his past star-caliber form during the first half of this season. He's hitting an outstanding .281/.378/.513 with 51 RBI, 49 runs, 10 steals, and a career-high 13.1% walk rate in 321 trips to the plate.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer put on a show as the club rolled to a 12-5 win over the visiting New York Yankees on Tuesday. Springer finished 3-for-4 with two home runs, a career-high seven RBI, and a walk to lead Toronto to a rout and send the fans home happy on Canada Day. With the Jays trailing 2-0 in the bottom of the fourth, Springer picked up the Blue Jays' first hit on a 404-foot solo shot off Yankees ace Max Fried. That was just the beginning for Springer, who came up with the Jays leading 5-4 in the seventh and crushed a 405-foot grand slam off Luke Weaver to put the game out of reach. He drove in another run on an RBI single in the eighth. It was the most productive day in what has been a resurgent season for Springer. The 35-year-old has bounced back from an underwhelming 2024 to slash .270/.367/.486 with 13 homers, 47 RBI, 44 runs scored, and nine stolen bases across 311 plate appearances.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (neck) collided with Jazz Chisholm Jr. on a play at third base on Monday night and was forced to leave the game. After the game, though, manager John Schneider said that Springer was expected to be OK despite the scary injury. Springer was attempting to go from first to third in the sixth inning when Jasson Dominguez threw him out, and Springer dove into the base, taking Chisholm's knee to his throat. While the injury appeared scary at the time, it looks like the veteran outfielder will be able to return to the lineup soon, and he could even be in the mix for Tuesday's lineup as the Jays celebrate Canada Day with an afternoon contest against the Yankees.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (neck) left Monday's game in the seventh inning after getting into a rough collision while sliding into third base, reports Sportsnet's Shi Davidi. While attempting to go from first to third on a Vladimir Guerrero Jr. single, Springer's head-first slide went into Jazz Chisholm's knee, with his throat/neck area taking most of the impact. More updates on his status will be available after the game, but the best-case scenario would be that he just got the wind knocked out of him and was struggling to breathe in the moment. The 35-year-old has been enjoying a resurgent campaign so far in 2025, slashing .263/.360/.459 with 11 home runs and nine stolen bases.UPDATE: Springer is considered day-to-day and will likely be back in the lineup for Tuesday's game, according to manager John Schneider.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer exploded in a 10-6 win over the Cleveland Guardians on Tuesday night. Springer broke the game open in the eighth inning with a 421-foot grand slamhis 11th home run of the season. The 35-year-old finished 3-for-5 with two additional singles and two more runs scored. Springer is now slashing .256/.354/.466 in his fifth year with Toronto, posting a strong .820 OPS. His barrel rate of 16.7 percent ranks in the 95th percentile and currently stands as a career high, showing minimal signs of decline from the veteran.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer delivered a go-ahead home run on Saturday in a 5-4 victory over the Minnesota Twins. With Toronto trailing 3-2 in the top of the eighth, Springer hit a two-run blast off right-hander Griffin Jax to give the Jays a lead they wouldn't give back. Springer finished the game 1-for-3 with a walk. The 35-year-old has homered in back-to-back games, five of nine, and is now up to 10 long balls in 232 plate appearances. He's also slashing an easily above-average .251/.367/.487 with 27 RBI, seven steals, and a career-best 14.7 percent walk rate. Springer will go up against Twins righty Joe Ryan on Sunday.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer starred in the team's 8-7 win over the Athletics on Saturday, going 2-for-3 with two solo home runs. He added a walk and an additional run scored. Springer's homers, both of which came against right-hander Gunnar Hoglund, traveled a combined 850 feet of distance. While Springer had a rough month of May with just 18 hits in 86 at-bats, the four-time All-Star has still enjoyed a nice bounce-back year after a subpar 2024. Springer is off to a .257/.374/.480 start with eight homers, 23 RBI, seven steals, and a career-high 14.9% walk rate over 208 plate appearances. The 33-year-old has an appealing matchup against Athletics left-hander JP Sears (5.18 ERA) on Sunday.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Thursday's 12-0 win against the Athletics. He also scored twice and singled. Toronto jumped on the A's early, with a massive eight-run second inning in which the veteran singled and scored on an Ernie Clement double. Springer would go yard the following frame -- his sixth dinger of the season -- to give the Jays an 11-0 lead. He'd been scuffling a bit at the plate, mired in a 4-for-41 slump over the last two-plus weeks, so it was nice to see him bust out of it. The extended cold stretch has brought his average down some, but he's still been solid, sporting 12 doubles, a triple, 19 RBI, 26 runs, and a 29:48 BB:K ratio in 52 games.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder/designated hitter George Springer is not in the team's starting lineup for Monday's series opener against the Texas Rangers at Globe Life Field. Nathan Lukes will start in left field for the Jays and hit ninth against Rangers right-hander Jacob deGrom, while first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is serving as the designated hitter and batting second. Springer has been a solid contributor for fantasy managers and Toronto in 2025, but he could use a mental break while struggling at the plate recently. The 35-year-old veteran has gone 2-for-29 (.069) with a double, stolen base, two runs scored and seven strikeouts in 10 games since May 15. Springer should be back in action on Tuesday in Texas as he looks to break his current slump. Lukes has never faced deGrom in his career, while Guerrero has a hit and an RBI in just three career at-bats.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer had a .206 average and .578 OPS on May 11 of last year, but things have been different so far in 2025. Springer hit three home runs in the team's three-game sweep of the Seattle Mariners over the weekend and raised his OPS back over .900. The 35-year-old veteran is swinging at pitches in the zone 8.2% less, chasing 6.4% less and seeing more pitches per plate appearance than all but 34 MLB hitters, per The Athletic's Mitch Bannon. Springer has the highest walk rate of his career and is batting .387 against fastballs with 71% of his extra-base hits coming against the pitch. Three of Springer's five homers on the year have come in nine games in May, and he's hitting .273 (9-for-33) in the month so far. Along with a move down in the batting order, whatever mechanical adjustments he's made in 2025 have been paying off.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer kept up his torrid start to the season, going 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, three RBI, and two runs in Sunday's 9-1 win over the Mariners. The veteran is now slashing .297/.404/.517 with five home runs and six stolen bases on the year. This is looking like a true resurgence for the former superstar, after many wrote him off after he hit .220 in 2024. It's unlikely he keeps up this pace for the whole year, but he will still be a valuable asset for fantasy as a potential 20-homer and 20-steal threat.

Toronto Blue Jays designated hitter George Springer went 2-for-4 with a single, a home run, and two RBI in Tuesday's 8-3 loss to the Los Angeles Angels. The 35-year-old got the Blue Jays on the board in the first inning with a two-run blast -- his fourth of the season -- off of Angels pitcher Tyler Anderson, scoring teammate Vladimir Guerrero Jr. It traveled 426 feet and exited the bat at 109.1 MPH, qualifying for the hardest hit ball in the contest. After failing to go yard in nearly a month, Springer is up to two homers over his last four games as he continues to impact the ball well. His other hit in the loss was also well struck (103.2 MPH). He's up to a .316/.419/.541 triple slash with five steals to go along with eight doubles, and a 28:18 K:BB ratio (15.7% walk rate) through 98 at-bats.

Toronto Blue Jays designated hitter George Springer went 1-for-1 with a home run in his team's 5-3 win against the Cleveland Guardians on Friday. The Connecticut native scored twice, walked twice, swiped a bag, and reached on an error (catcher's interference on a six-pitch at-bat). Springer was productive again as he continues his torrid stretch to start the season. He's slashing a robust .314/.423/.523, with seven doubles, 12 off his total from last year in 459 fewer at-bats. His batted ball metrics support the production, as the 35-year-old is sporting a 50% hard-hit rate and 92.6 MPH exit velocity -- marks he hasn't sniffed in years. Furthermore, he's eclipsed his hardest hit ball of 2024 (112.3 MPH) in the early going. Health has always been a knock against Springer, but it appears he'll be a strong option if he can stay on the field.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (wrist) remains out of action for Wednesday's series finale against the Atlanta Braves at the Rogers Centre. Alan Roden will get another start in left field and will bat sixth against Braves right-hander Spencer Strider (elbow), who is making his first start of the season. This will be Springer's third straight game on the bench as he deals with inflammation in his left wrist. Toronto has a day off on Thursday before starting a weekend series against the visiting Seattle Mariners on Friday, so fantasy managers will want to check back then to see if the 35-year-old veteran is back in the lineup. As of right now, Toronto is treating Springer as day-to-day, and he could even be available off the bench on Wednesday. Roden clubbed his first home run of the season in Tuesday's win over Atlanta but will be in store for a tough matchup against Strider on Wednesday.
