Blue Jays DH George Springer leaves game because of fractured left big toe
Bob Nightengale reported Springer is expected to miss extended time after fouling a ball off his left foot.
- On Saturday, Toronto Blue Jays designated hitter George Springer left the game against the Minnesota Twins after suffering a fractured left big toe, fouling a ball off his foot in the third inning.
- The Blue Jays are already contending with significant roster issues, placing nine players on the injured list, including six pitchers, while posting a middling 6-7 record through their first 13 games.
- A 2017 World Series MVP with Houston, Springer is in the final season of a six-year, $150 million contract, coming off a 2025 season where he hit.309 with 32 homers and 89 RBIs.
- Myles Straw replaced Springer in the sixth inning and will likely see increased playing time, as the fractured toe will almost certainly require an extended stay on the injured list.
- Recurring health issues define Toronto's difficult start to 2026, with position players Alejandro Kirk, Addison Barger, and Anthony Santander already sidelined alongside Springer's addition to the injured list.
