Tue Jul 1 | 21:58 | George Springer Clubs Two Homers in Seven-RBI Day |
Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer put on a show as the club rolled to a 12-5 win over the visiting New York Yankees on Tuesday. Springer finished 3-for-4 with two home runs, a career-high seven RBI, and a walk to lead Toronto to a rout and send the fans home happy on Canada Day. With the Jays trailing 2-0 in the bottom of the fourth, Springer picked up the Blue Jays' first hit on a 404-foot solo shot off Yankees ace Max Fried. That was just the beginning for Springer, who came up with the Jays leading 5-4 in the seventh and crushed a 405-foot grand slam off Luke Weaver to put the game out of reach. He drove in another run on an RBI single in the eighth. It was the most productive day in what has been a resurgent season for Springer. The 35-year-old has bounced back from an underwhelming 2024 to slash .270/.367/.486 with 13 homers, 47 RBI, 44 runs scored, and nine stolen bases across 311 plate appearances. |

Tue Jul 1 | 09:28 | George Springer Avoids Serious Injury |
Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (neck) collided with Jazz Chisholm Jr. on a play at third base on Monday night and was forced to leave the game. After the game, though, manager John Schneider said that Springer was expected to be OK despite the scary injury. Springer was attempting to go from first to third in the sixth inning when Jasson Dominguez threw him out, and Springer dove into the base, taking Chisholm's knee to his throat. While the injury appeared scary at the time, it looks like the veteran outfielder will be able to return to the lineup soon, and he could even be in the mix for Tuesday's lineup as the Jays celebrate Canada Day with an afternoon contest against the Yankees. |

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (neck) left Monday's game in the seventh inning after getting into a rough collision while sliding into third base, reports Sportsnet's Shi Davidi. While attempting to go from first to third on a Vladimir Guerrero Jr. single, Springer's head-first slide went into Jazz Chisholm's knee, with his throat/neck area taking most of the impact. More updates on his status will be available after the game, but the best-case scenario would be that he just got the wind knocked out of him and was struggling to breathe in the moment. The 35-year-old has been enjoying a resurgent campaign so far in 2025, slashing .263/.360/.459 with 11 home runs and nine stolen bases. UPDATE: Springer is considered day-to-day and will likely be back in the lineup for Tuesday's game, according to manager John Schneider. |

Fri May 30 | 12:43 | George Springer Launches Homer in Blowout |
Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Thursday's 12-0 win against the Athletics. He also scored twice and singled. Toronto jumped on the A's early, with a massive eight-run second inning in which the veteran singled and scored on an Ernie Clement double. Springer would go yard the following frame -- his sixth dinger of the season -- to give the Jays an 11-0 lead. He'd been scuffling a bit at the plate, mired in a 4-for-41 slump over the last two-plus weeks, so it was nice to see him bust out of it. The extended cold stretch has brought his average down some, but he's still been solid, sporting 12 doubles, a triple, 19 RBI, 26 runs, and a 29:48 BB:K ratio in 52 games. |

Mon May 26 | 13:37 | George Springer Absent Against Rangers |
Toronto Blue Jays outfielder/designated hitter George Springer is not in the team's starting lineup for Monday's series opener against the Texas Rangers at Globe Life Field. Nathan Lukes will start in left field for the Jays and hit ninth against Rangers right-hander Jacob deGrom, while first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is serving as the designated hitter and batting second. Springer has been a solid contributor for fantasy managers and Toronto in 2025, but he could use a mental break while struggling at the plate recently. The 35-year-old veteran has gone 2-for-29 (.069) with a double, stolen base, two runs scored and seven strikeouts in 10 games since May 15. Springer should be back in action on Tuesday in Texas as he looks to break his current slump. Lukes has never faced deGrom in his career, while Guerrero has a hit and an RBI in just three career at-bats. |

Mon May 12 | 13:07 | George Springer Swinging The Bat Well |
Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer had a .206 average and .578 OPS on May 11 of last year, but things have been different so far in 2025. Springer hit three home runs in the team's three-game sweep of the Seattle Mariners over the weekend and raised his OPS back over .900. The 35-year-old veteran is swinging at pitches in the zone 8.2% less, chasing 6.4% less and seeing more pitches per plate appearance than all but 34 MLB hitters, per The Athletic's Mitch Bannon. Springer has the highest walk rate of his career and is batting .387 against fastballs with 71% of his extra-base hits coming against the pitch. Three of Springer's five homers on the year have come in nine games in May, and he's hitting .273 (9-for-33) in the month so far. Along with a move down in the batting order, whatever mechanical adjustments he's made in 2025 have been paying off. |

Sun May 11 | 21:19 | George Springer Homers In Three-Hit Game |
Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer kept up his torrid start to the season, going 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, three RBI, and two runs in Sunday's 9-1 win over the Mariners. The veteran is now slashing .297/.404/.517 with five home runs and six stolen bases on the year. This is looking like a true resurgence for the former superstar, after many wrote him off after he hit .220 in 2024. It's unlikely he keeps up this pace for the whole year, but he will still be a valuable asset for fantasy as a potential 20-homer and 20-steal threat. |

Wed May 7 | 09:18 | George Springer Crushes Fourth Home Run |
Toronto Blue Jays designated hitter George Springer went 2-for-4 with a single, a home run, and two RBI in Tuesday's 8-3 loss to the Los Angeles Angels. The 35-year-old got the Blue Jays on the board in the first inning with a two-run blast -- his fourth of the season -- off of Angels pitcher Tyler Anderson, scoring teammate Vladimir Guerrero Jr. It traveled 426 feet and exited the bat at 109.1 MPH, qualifying for the hardest hit ball in the contest. After failing to go yard in nearly a month, Springer is up to two homers over his last four games as he continues to impact the ball well. His other hit in the loss was also well struck (103.2 MPH). He's up to a .316/.419/.541 triple slash with five steals to go along with eight doubles, and a 28:18 K:BB ratio (15.7% walk rate) through 98 at-bats. |

Fri May 2 | 23:41 | George Springer Reaches Base Four Times In Win Over Guardians |
Toronto Blue Jays designated hitter George Springer went 1-for-1 with a home run in his team's 5-3 win against the Cleveland Guardians on Friday. The Connecticut native scored twice, walked twice, swiped a bag, and reached on an error (catcher's interference on a six-pitch at-bat). Springer was productive again as he continues his torrid stretch to start the season. He's slashing a robust .314/.423/.523, with seven doubles, 12 off his total from last year in 459 fewer at-bats. His batted ball metrics support the production, as the 35-year-old is sporting a 50% hard-hit rate and 92.6 MPH exit velocity -- marks he hasn't sniffed in years. Furthermore, he's eclipsed his hardest hit ball of 2024 (112.3 MPH) in the early going. Health has always been a knock against Springer, but it appears he'll be a strong option if he can stay on the field. |

Wed Apr 16 | 12:07 | George Springer Still Out Against Braves |
Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (wrist) remains out of action for Wednesday's series finale against the Atlanta Braves at the Rogers Centre. Alan Roden will get another start in left field and will bat sixth against Braves right-hander Spencer Strider (elbow), who is making his first start of the season. This will be Springer's third straight game on the bench as he deals with inflammation in his left wrist. Toronto has a day off on Thursday before starting a weekend series against the visiting Seattle Mariners on Friday, so fantasy managers will want to check back then to see if the 35-year-old veteran is back in the lineup. As of right now, Toronto is treating Springer as day-to-day, and he could even be available off the bench on Wednesday. Roden clubbed his first home run of the season in Tuesday's win over Atlanta but will be in store for a tough matchup against Strider on Wednesday. |

Tue Apr 15 | 16:48 | George Springer Not Starting On Tuesday |
Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (wrist) will miss his second-straight contest on Tuesday evening when the Blue Jays continue a series against the Atlanta Braves. Springer suffered this injury during Sunday's contest against the Baltimore Orioles. Fantasy managers should continue to keep an eye on his status as he works his way back from this injury. As a result, Addison Barger will get the nod in right field, while Alan Roden and Myles Straw cover left and center, respectively. Springer has enjoyed a strong start to the early season, posting a stellar .375/.436/.604 slash line. He has tallied two home runs and swiped two bags. Under the hood, he has generated an elite .408 xwOBA. Fantasy managers should not target the Toronto offense this evening in DFS, facing Atlanta right-hander Spencer Schwellenbach. |

Mon Apr 14 | 17:43 | George Springer Out Monday With Wrist Inflammation |
Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (wrist) is dealing with inflammation in his left wrist and is not in the starting lineup for Monday's series opener against the visiting Atlanta Braves at Rogers Centre. The good news is that X-rays that Springer took in Baltimore came back negative, and he's considered day-to-day. He also underwent an MRI exam, which came back negative, and manager John Schneider said Springer would take batting practice and see how he feels. The 35-year-old left Sunday's win over the Orioles after injuring his wrist during an at-bat. Springer has dodged a serious injury, but he won't play on Monday, and fantasy managers will need to check back to see if he's active on Tuesday. Alan Roden is drawing the start in left field on Monday and is hitting sixth against Braves right-hander Grant Holmes. He has never faced Holmes in his career. |

Sun Apr 13 | 16:16 | George Springer Removed Early On Sunday |
Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (wrist) was removed early during Sunday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. The veteran outfielder appeared to have suffered a left wrist injury during a plate appearance in the fifth inning. He was pulled out of the contest and finished his day 0-for-3 with a strikeout. The assumption is that Springer will undergo further testing to determine the severity of the injury. Springer has been on a tear to start the season, so hopefully this is only a day-to-day type of issue. Fantasy managers will need to check back for another update on his status. Will Wagner and Alan Roden could see more playing time if Springer does miss time. |

Springer went 4-for-4 with a run and three RBI to help propel the Blue Jays to the win over their division rivals. The veteran notched a single in each of his four at-bats, giving him six games with at least two hits in the early going this season. Springer missed Sunday's game after leaving early with back spasms but he appears to be over the issue now. Overall, he's hitting .455 with one homer, five runs, eight RBI, and two steals over 33 at-bats this season. He is worth a spot in fantasy starting lineups while he's hot at the plate. |

Mon Apr 7 | 17:03 | George Springer Returns From Back Spasms |
Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (back) is back in right field and is hitting fifth for Monday's series opener against the division-rival Boston Red Sox and right-hander Richard Fitts at Fenway Park. Springer was pulled from Saturday's game against the New York Mets in the ninth inning after he crashed into the outfield wall and was diagnosed with back spasms. The 35-year-old veteran didn't start Sunday's series finale but appeared a a pinch-runner and is now back in the starting lineup a day later. Fantasy managers will be hoping that Springer can pick up where he left off at the plate. The four-time All-Star has so far gone 11-for-29 (.379) with a home run, two doubles, a triple, five RBI, two stolen bases, four runs scored, four walks and 11 strikeouts in 10 games played.

Sun Apr 6 | 12:42 | George Springer Not In Blue Jays Lineup |
Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (back) is absent from Sunday's starting lineup at Citi Field against the hosting New York Mets. It's not a surprise that Springer isn't in there after crashing into the wall in the ninth inning in Saturday's loss and being removed due to lower-back spasms. The good news is that the 35-year-old veteran didn't require any testing after getting hurt on Saturday and was able to do pre-game workouts on Sunday in New York. It's possible he'll be able to return to the lineup for Monday's series opener in Boston against the division-rival Red Sox at Fenway Park, but fantasy managers will want to check back in on that. The four-time All-Star went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts on Saturday, but he's hitting .379 (11-for-29) in the early going with a homer, two doubles, a triple and five RBI. Anthony Santander is in right and Alejandro Kirk is the DH on Sunday versus Mets left-hander David Peterson. |
