Blue Jays announce setback for George Springer
The Bisons announced their lineup not too long ago and many notice that Andres Gimenez is in the lineup but Springer was missing.
MLB insider Keegan Matheson asked John Schneider about the situation to which he said it looks like Springer has not passed all the concussion tests yet to be cleared to return to play.
Still no George Springer in the Triple-A starting lineup today.
When we spoke to John Schneider pre-game today, he was just about to speak to Springer and there were still some tests he needed to clear. #BlueJays

No George Springer in Bisons lineup today.
Earlier, Blue Jays manager John Schneider said, "he's going to go through everything. I think there still needs to be some tests done to see if he can get cleared for today."
Andres Gimenez, meanwhile, continues his rehab assignment.

Andres Gimenez, meanwhile, continues his rehab assignment.
While this is an unfortunate setback for Springer in his recovery, the fact that he is clearly close to doing his rehab assignment means he should be back in the Blue Jays lineup during their next series against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Schneider will likely have more details and give a follow up update on Springer after the Blue Jays series closing game against the Rockies.
The Blue Jays currently lead 3-1 in the top of the 5th inning.
