Springer hitless in Blue Jays debut after opening on IL

George Springer is set to make an impact with the Toronto Blue Jays

Cleared for season debut The Blue Jays will activate Springer (quadriceps) from the 10-day injured list ahead of Wednesday's game against the Nationals, Scott Mitchell of TSN.ca reports. He'll serve as Tor...

Impact Toronto's high-priced offseason pickup will finally get the chance to debut after he spent the past four-plus weeks recovering from a Grade 2 left oblique and a right quadriceps strain. Though the Blue Jays appear confident in his health, Springer is still expected to be eased into the mix as a DH initially before gradually settling into a full-time role in the outfield. His return should provide a big boost to a Toronto squad that has gotten a collective .653 OPS from its leadoff hitters this season.

Not returning Tuesday Springer (quadriceps) will not be activated Tuesday, Ben Wagner of Sportsnet reports.

Impact There was a report Sunday that Springer had a good chance to be activated Tuesday against the Nationals, but that move will be delayed by at least one day. Springer ran on the field prior to Tuesday's game, and his quad is still not 100 percent.

Good chance to return Tuesday Blue Jays manager Charlie Montoyo said Sunday that Springer (quadriceps) has a "good chance" to return from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Scott Mitchell of TSN.ca reports.

Impact Springer is slated to play a full game in center field at the Blue Jays' alternate training site Sunday, and Montoyo is optimistic that the 31-year-old will be able to make his season debut in Tuesday's series opener against Washington. Springer appeared in 10 spring games this year and hit .240 with a home run, two RBI and two stolen bases.

Cleared to play in alt-site game Springer (quadriceps) was scheduled to play a full game in center field Sunday at the Blue Jays' alternate site, Rob Longley of the Toronto Sun reports.

Impact The rehab game likely represents the final hurdle Springer will need to clear before making his return from the 10-day injured list. The Blue Jays are off Monday, so the team will likely re-evaluate Springer that day before determining if he's ready to make his team debut Tuesday against the Nationals. Teoscar Hernandez (illness) is also nearing a return from the COVID-19 injured list, so the Blue Jays should soon be back to full strength in the outfield for the first time this season.

Unlikely to return Sunday Springer (quadriceps) is unlikely to make his season debut Sunday against the Rays, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Springer played in an intrasquad game Friday and is feeling good Saturday. As a result, he's slated to appear in another intrasquad game Saturday. However, manager Charlie Montoyo said that he doesn't expect Springer to return Sunday since the team doesn't want to rush him back from the injured list. Even if Springer is ultimately held out Sunday, the center fielder appears to be nearing his return.

Could debut Sunday Springer (quadriceps) will be monitored after Friday's intrasquad game and could make his season debut Sunday against the Rays, Rob Longley of the Toronto Sun reports.

Impact Springer played center field and sprinted at least five times during a simulated game at the Blue Jays' alternate training site Friday. The next step in his recovery will depend on how he feels following his appearance in the sim game, but manager Charlie Montoyo said that there's a possibility that Springer could return to game action for Sunday's series finale in Tampa Bay.
