Springer left Thursday’s game early with the injury and may just be taking some rest following the discomfort. Raimel Tapia will take over in center field for Friday night’s series-opener against the Detroit Tigers. The Blue Jays will open up a weekend series as massive favorites over the lowly Tigers as they look to keep the upper hand within the AL Wild Card race.
In 2022, Springer has a .254 batting average, a .331 on-base percentage, and a .471 slugging rate. Keep an eye on Saturday’s lineup to see if he makes his return from injury.
