It sounds like George Springer will play tomorrow with Triple-A Buffalo. If all goes well (and he passes MLB's concussion tests), he may just need that one rehab game. #BlueJays
Once Springer hit IL with a concussion, many thought he would be out for longer but it looks like he will surprisingly be back ahead of schedule.
This is great news for Toronto who has been dealing with a lot of injuries and finally got a break as this is one of the few that did not end up being as bad as it seemed.
