Springer stayed on the ground for quite some time and tried to stay in the game but after walking over to first base, he realized he was in too much pain to keep playing.
Getting hit by 95.6 mph on the knee cap is never a pleasant feeling, man... #BlueJays
oh boy
oh boy
The Blue Jays decided to bring out Joey Loperfido to replace Springer at first base as he has been removed from the game.
George Springer down for an extended period after a 95.6 mph heater from Brayn Woo hits him on right kneecap. He tried to stay in the game but limped badly to first base and is now being replaced by Joey Loperfido.
This is a very scary injury for the Blue Jays and Springer as he might be out for a extended period of time depending on how the scans come back.
