George Springer leaves Blue Jays game after being hit by pitch on left foot,
but X-rays are negative
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) --- Toronto Blue Jays designated hitter George Springer left
Saturday's 11-4 win over Minnesota in the third inning after being hit by a
pitch on the left foot.
The incident comes four days after the four-time All-Star came off the 10-day
injured list after fouling off a pitch and breaking his left big toe on April
11 in another game against the Twins.
X-rays showed no new fractures, and its not any worse than it was, manager John
Schneider said after the game. He had already planned to give Springer an off
day on Sunday.
Springer was hit by an 88 mph slider from Connor Prielipp and immediately went
to the ground in pain. After being tended to by a couple of trainers for a few
minutes, Springer gingerly walked off the field and was replaced by Jess
Snchez.
In his sixth season with Toronto, the 36-year-old Springer is hitting .212 with
two home runs and seven RBIs in 66 at-bats across 18 games.
The MVP of the 2017 World Series with Houston, Springer is in the final season
of a $150 million, six-year deal with the Blue Jays.
