According to reports, the reasoning behind Springer still not being in the Bisons lineup is because he has yet to take the concussion protocol test which clears him to start playing again.
George Springer as of this morning (the recording of the Around the Nest podcast) had not taken the concussion protocol test, and won't be in Buffalo's lineup tonight.
Blue Jays manager John Schneider was also on Blair & Barker and stated that Springer has been hitting, running and taking fly balls with the Bisons but will get into a game once he fully feels better.
