""Feeling better today. CT scan he got last night, negative," said Schneider at a news conference during optional workouts at Rogers Centre on Saturday. "Just a contusion, as we say. "But he's getting treatment, he's going to be doing some stuff here in a little bit, probably moving around. But feeling a lot better than he did yesterday." Schneider said Springer got treatment on Saturday and was expected to test his knee in a team workout."
"The 36-year-old Springer fell to the ground after being struck by Woo's pitch and stayed down in the batter's box while Schneider and trainer Drew MacDonald came out from the dugout. Springer walked gingerly toward first, attempted to run a few steps, then walked off and was replaced by pinch-runner Joey Loperfido. "Just make sure that it's not bothering him swinging and not bothering him running," Schneider said. "But he's a tough dude, so I'm hopeful and optimistic that he'll be good to go.""
George Springer received a fastball to the inside of his right knee in Game 5 of the American League Championship Series and fell to the ground. A CT scan the following night showed no fracture, and the injury was diagnosed as a contusion. Springer received treatment on Saturday and was scheduled to test swinging and running during optional team workouts to determine availability for Game 6. He walked gingerly after the impact, attempted to run a few steps, and was replaced by a pinch-runner. Manager John Schneider expressed optimism about Springer’s condition and noted his history of playing through injuries.
