George Springer Leaves Blue Jays Game After Being Hit by Pitch Again on Left Foot
- Toronto Blue Jays designated hitter George Springer left Saturday's game against Minnesota in the third inning after being hit by a pitch on his left foot.
- This injury recurs just four days after the four-time All-Star returned from a 10-day injured list stint for a fractured left big toe sustained April 11 against the Twins.
- Springer was struck by an 88 mph slider from Minnesota pitcher Connor Prielipp on Saturday and immediately collapsed to the ground before trainers helped him to the clubhouse.
- Despite taking 10 days off for recovery, Springer could return to the injured list following this setback, complicating matters for the Toronto Blue Jays, who are off to a 15-17 start.
- Manager John Schneider emphasized the roster's "domino effect" from missing players, while Springer stated "I have to trust the medical staff" regarding his health decisions moving forward.
