Blue Jays Designated Hitter Springer Leaves Game 3 with Apparent Injury
Springer injured his wrist fouling a pitch and exited Game 3 in the seventh inning, impacting Toronto's lineup against Los Angeles, with postseason batting at .246, MLB stats show.
- On Monday, Toronto Blue Jays designated hitter George Springer left Game 3 at Dodger Stadium after appearing to injure himself on a swing in the seventh inning, fouling off a 95 mph sinker from Dodgers reliever Justin Wrobleski before departing through the Blue Jays' dugout.
- Springer has battled injuries this postseason, including a wrist hit in Game 2 at Toronto on Saturday and a knee shot in Game 5 of the American League Championship Series.
- Ty France replaced Springer with an 0-1 count and eventually struck out in an eight-pitch at-bat against Justin Wrobleski, while Springer was hitless with two strikeouts at Dodger Stadium where fans booed before each at-bat.
- Losing Springer would be a major blow, as he is 14 for 57 with four homers in the postseason and hit a key ALCS three-run homer.
- Fans booed Springer routinely because of his time on the 2017 Houston Astros; he previously left a playoff game but didn’t miss time, says Blue Jays manager John Schneider.
