George Springer News
Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (illness) is back in Wednesday's lineup against the Baltimore Orioles. Springer has been under the weather of late and missed a couple games over the weekend before returning to Sunday's contest. The 34-year-old veteran was feeling sick again on Tuesday, though, and was set to be held out again before the game was postponed due to inclement weather. He's back in right field and is hitting in his customary leadoff spot against Orioles right-hander Kyle Bradish. Fantasy managers may want to keep Springer on the bench despite his return, as he's gone just 5-for-31 (.161) in eight games so far in May and is hitting an even .200 (29-for-145) on the year to this point with only three home run, six RBI, six stolen bases and 13 runs scored in his first 37 games played. In his career against Bradish, Springer is hitting .412 with a 1.236 OPS, a homer and three RBI in 17 at-bats.
Updating a previous report, Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (illness) and Kevin Kiermaier (illness) and designated hitter Justin Turner (illness) are both out sick on Monday against the Baltimore Orioles. Springer missed Friday and Saturday while being sick but was able to return on Sunday before going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts. It appears he's still not feeling great and will sit out another game. Turner is sick and in a slump of late, so a day off second consecutive day off should do him well. Kiermaier will miss his fourth straight game. Cavan Biggio is in right field and batting eighth, Daniel Vogelbach is the DH and is hitting fifth, while Daulton Varsho is in center field and batting second against Orioles right-hander Corbin Burnes. Davis Schneider is in left field and is batting leadoff for Toronto. It's a tough matchup for all of Toronto's hitters in the series opener against Burnes.
Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer and designated hitter Justin Turner are both sitting out on Monday for the series opener against the Orioles in Baltimore. With both veterans resting, Cavan Biggio is in right field and is hitting eighth, while Daniel Vogelbach is the DH and is batting fifth against Orioles right-hander Corbin Burnes. Davis Schneider is in left field and is hitting leadoff for the Blue Jays. Springer missed Friday and Saturday against the Minnesota Twins but returned on Sunday to go 0-for-4 with two strikeouts. The 34-year-old has struggled so far in 2024 with a .200 average (29-for-145), three homers and six stolen bases. Turner has one hit in his last 22 at-bats in his last five starts, so he'll be on the bench for the second straight game. None of Toronto's replacements on Monday will be particularly attractive in DFS against Burnes.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer enjoyed a fully healthy 2023 season, appearing in all but eight of his team's games. That's the good news. The bad news is he endured, by far, the worst season of his career across the board. He managed a 20/20 campaign but also hit just .258 while seeing his walk rate drop to a career-low 8.8%. His isolated power dipped to a career-worst .147, a cool 67 points below his .214 career mark. Once a Statcast darling, the 34-year-old fell well below the league average in key areas such as hard-hit rate, barrel rate, and average exit velocity, ranking in the 29th percentile in the latter. Prior to last season, Springer played in just 70% of his team's games from 2019-2022, which begs the question: Can he stay healthy and bounce back at the plate at age 34 with another season of wear-and-tear under his belt? RotoBaller has him ranked 131st but his ADP is hovering around 120. It's not a huge difference, but Springer remains a risky bet coming off a career-worst season at the dish.
