Blue Jays outfielder George Springer's injury doesn't seem all that concerning since he was able to make a brief return to Sunday's game.
A day after leaving a game because of lower back spasms, George Springer entered as a pinch runner for the Toronto Blue Jays in the eighth inning Sunday and stole second base against the New York Mets. Springer replaced designated hitter Alejandro Kirk, who had singled. - Associated Press
Fans can breathe a sigh of relief for now as Springer early diagnosis is simply lower back spasms and early reports don't expect an MRI will be needed.
Springer crashed into the right-field fence in the eighth inning Saturday in an unsuccessful attempt to catch Jesse Winker's drive, a tying, two-run triple in a game the Mets went on to win 3-2. - Associated Press
Ten games into their season and the Blue Jays have already added a few names on the injured list. Springer has had a hot start to the season hitting .379 with one home-run and five RBIs in his first nine games.
The Blues Jays hope to get the four-time all star back into their lineup as fast as possible so that they can get get themselves back into the win column after dropping their last three games.
The Blue Jays continue their schedule on the road this week with a four game matchup against the Boston Red Sox.
