George Springer News
Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (elbow) had surgery to remove a bone spur from his elbow this week, and the team expects him to be fully recovered by spring training next year. Springer suffered a concussion and a sprained shoulder in the team's final postseason game in the Wild-Card Series against the Seattle Mariners after colliding with shortstop Bo Bichette. The 33-year-old should be fully recovered from those injuries by the start of spring training as well, and he'll once again be a highly coveted fantasy outfielder in 2023 drafts. The four-time All-Star finished his second year in Toronto with a .267/.342/.472 slash line, an .814 OPS, 22 doubles, 25 home runs, 76 RBI, 89 runs scored and 14 stolen bases in 133 games played.
Toronto Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins said that outfielder George Springer (concussion, shoulder) suffered a concussion and a shoulder sprain in the Game 2 loss to the Seattle Mariners in the Wild-Card Series last Saturday when he was involved in a scary collision with shortstop Bo Bichette. Springer remains in Toronto, but the team believes he'll be cleared to travel soon. The 33-year-old had to be carted off the field and likely wouldn't have been available if the series had gone to a deciding third game on Sunday. In the two games of the Wild-Card Series, Springer went 2-for-7 with three strikeouts. He finished the regular season with a .267/.342/.472 slash line, an .814 OPS, 25 home runs, 76 RBI, 89 runs scored and 14 stolen bases in 513 at-bats.
Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer exited Saturday's game early against the Seattle Mariners after colliding with shortstop Bo Bichette in the field. The 33-year-old waved to the crowd as he was carted off the field. Springer crashed down to the field after his head hit Bichette's arm. The severity of Springer's injury is unknown, and he's considered day-to-day. He was dealing with a wrist injury heading into Game 2 of the Wild Card round and suffered a new injury. Bichette managed to stay in the game. The Blue Jays lost the series to the Mariners 2-0; Springer will have an entire offseason to be ready for Spring Training.

For the first time since the 2018 season, Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer appeared in more than 130 games in the 2022 campaign. The former Houston Astro logged 133 contests with the Blue Jays, swatting 25 home runs while showing more aggressiveness on the base paths with 14 stolen bases, his most since swiping 16 in the 2015 season. When healthy, Springer is a cross-category producer primarily out of the valuable leadoff spot on a dangerous Blue Jays offense. However, the 33-year-old will be handled with caution by the organization after seeing both his barrel rate (8.4%), xwOBAcon (.374), and BB% (9.3%) all drop to career lows a season ago. Springer also underwent off-season elbow surgery to remove a bone spur that hampered him down the stretch and into the postseason. The veteran's counting stats should remain strong across the board, but he's no longer among the game's elite outfielders, as his 84 ADP suggests. With steamer projections of 30 HR, 97 runs, and 11 SB, Springer remains a targetable asset in that range but whether he can reach the 141 projected games played remains a notable concern given his lengthy injury history.
