"George Springer was forced out of Saturday's game against the Twins after getting hit by a pitch on his left big toe. Postgame X-rays did not reveal an additional fracture for Springer, which is a bit of positive news for an injury-riddled roster."
"Manager John Schneider told reporters that the 36-year-old Springer was likely getting Sunday's game off anyway. Assuming that remains the plan, his next chance to play will be Monday in Tampa Bay."
"Toronto's extensive health issues have skewed toward the pitching side, but the club is also missing a handful of key bats, including catcher Alejandro Kirk, who broke his thumb in early April."
"Red Sox right-hander Justin Slaten will begin a rehab assignment on Sunday, relays Christopher Smith of MassLive.com, among others. Slaten has been sidelined for nearly a month with an oblique injury."
George Springer exited a game after being hit on his left big toe, the same toe he fractured earlier in the season. Postgame X-rays showed no new fracture, providing some relief for the injury-plagued team. Manager John Schneider indicated Springer would likely rest for the next game. Springer had recently improved his performance, raising his batting average above .200. The Blue Jays are also dealing with injuries to other key players, including Alejandro Kirk and Addison Barger.
