George Springer Fantasy Stats

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (shoulder) was held out of the starting lineup again on Wednesday against the hosting Athletics due to a left-shoulder issue that also cost him two games in August, among other things, according to Theo DeRosa of MLB.com. "I think it's just kind of that point in the season. He's available today if we need him," manager John Schneider said. Catcher Alejandro Kirk got the start as the designated hitter on Wednesday and was hitting cleanup, with Brandon Valenzuela doing the catching for right-hander Braydon Fisher and batting eighth against A's left-hander Brady Basso. It is the second straight day that Springer has been held out, but it sounds like a day-to-day situation, so the veteran could be back as early as Friday's series opener against the division-rival Baltimore Orioles after a scheduled day off on Thursday to travel back to Toronto. Despite being a little banged up since last month, Springer hit .321 (27-for-84) with an .858 OPS, two homers, six doubles, a triple, 11 RBI, 13 runs scored, and four steals in 27 games in August. However, he has gone just 3-for-23 (.130) with a walk and five strikeouts so far in six games in September.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (shoulder) is serving as the designated hitter and is batting cleanup for Monday's series opener against the division-rival Boston Red Sox and right-hander Sonny Gray, per MLB.com. Springer was held out of the final two games of the series over the weekend against the Philadelphia Phillies due to a left-shoulder injury, but he's back in the starting nine to begin the new week against a pitcher with whom he is very familiar. The 36-year-old has hit .296 with a .943 OPS, two home runs, and five RBI in 27 career at-bats against Gray. Fantasy managers are hoping that will help Springer get out of a funk at the plate. In his first nine games in August, he's gone 6-for-27 (.222) with a .633 OPS, zero home runs, a double, a triple, two RBI, three runs, one steal, three walks, and five strikeouts in 30 plate appearances. The four-time All-Star turned back the clock in 2025 with 32 homers, 84 RBI, and 18 steals during the regular season, but he has come back to Earth in 2026 with a .234/.317/.396 slash line, 12 homers, 36 RBI, and eight steals in 88 games played.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (shoulder) is out of the starting lineup for the second straight game on Sunday against the hosting Philadelphia Phillies due to a left-shoulder injury, according to MLB.com. First baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. will serve as the DH on Sunday and hit second, with Kazuma Okamoto playing first and hitting cleanup for the Jays against Phillies left-hander Jesus Luzardo. The Blue Jays scratched Springer from their lineup on Saturday in Philly, but he came in as a pinch-runner in the extra-inning win, suggesting that his injury is merely a day-to-day situation, so he could return to the starting lineup as early as Monday's series opener at home against the division-rival Boston Red Sox. The 36-year-old four-time All-Star and three-time Silver Slugger winner surprised many folks when he hit 32 homers, drove in 84, and stole 18 bases in 140 regular-season games last year, but he's showing signs of offensive decline in 2026, as he enters Sunday's action with a .234/.317/.396 slash line, 12 homers, 36 RBI, and eight stolen bases across his 87 games in his 13th year in the big leagues.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (shoulder) has been scratched from Saturday's starting lineup against the hosting Philadelphia Phillies due to tightness in his left shoulder, per Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet. Springer has been dealing with shoulder tightness for the last couple of days. With Springer starting on the bench, outfielder Jesus Sanchez will serve as Toronto's designated hitter and bat cleanup against Phillies right-hander Aaron Nola at Citizens Bank Park. Springer's injury doesn't sound all that serious, but don't be surprised if he's held out again in Sunday's series finale in Philly as a precaution. The Jays start a new series back at home on Monday against the division-rival Boston Red Sox. The four-time All-Star hasn't had quite the bounce-back season he had in 2025, as he's hitting just .234/.317/.396 with a .714 OPS, 12 home runs, 36 RBI, 40 runs scored, and eight stolen bases across 86 games and 378 plate appearances in 2026. Springer did, however, hit .290 (18-for-62) with four homers, two doubles, 13 RBI, nine runs scored, and a steal in 16 games in the month of July.

The Toronto Blue Jays announced on Monday that they reinstated designated hitter/outfielder George Springer from the family medical emergency list and placed right-hander Braydon Fisher on the bereavement list in a corresponding move. Springer is active for Monday's series opener in San Francisco against the Giants, but he is not in the starting lineup. Sean Keys is serving as the DH and is batting fifth against Giants right-hander Landen Roupp. Fantasy managers should expect Spring to be back in Toronto's starting lineup for Game 2 of the series at Oracle Park on Tuesday. The 36-year-old four-time All-Star has mostly struggled in 2026 after a resurgent season last year that saw him hit .309/.399/.560 with a .959 OPS, 32 home runs, 84 RBI, and 18 stolen bases in 140 regular-season games before helping the Jays reach the World Series. He comes into Monday's game hitting just .221 (54-for-244) in 2026 with eight homers, 21 RBI, and six steals in 63 games. Fantasy managers will be hoping that Springer can pick up where he left off before leaving the team for personal reasons. Springer went 16-for-57 (.281) with two homers, a double, a triple, five RBI, eight runs, and three steals in his last 14 games, dating back to June 14.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer's paternity leave is up on Saturday, but he's now being placed on the family medical emergency list, which is purely transactional, according to Hazel Mae of Sportsnet. Springer is "tying up some loose ends," according to manager John Schneider. He will miss the rest of the weekend series in Seattle against the Mariners and will likely rejoin the club for the series opener on Monday versus the San Francisco Giants. The 36-year-old four-time All-Star needs a little more personal time after welcoming a new addition to the family this week. It might actually be good for Springer to get some time away. After a resurgence in 2025 that saw him hit 32 home runs, drive in 84, and steal 18 bases in 140 regular-season games before leading the Jays to the World Series, he has struggled in 2026, slashing .221/.308/.373 with a .681 OPS, eight homers, 21 RBI, and six steals in 63 games played.

The Toronto Blue Jays announced on Wednesday that they placed outfielder/designated hitter George Springer on the paternity list and recalled outfielder Jonatan Clase from Triple-A Buffalo in a corresponding move. With Springer now away from the team for the birth of his child, Sean Keys will serve as the DH for Wednesday's series finale against the New York Mets and right-hander Freddy Peralta at the Rogers Centre. Springer will be away from the team for up to three days, so he could miss most of the upcoming series against the Seattle Mariners that starts on Friday, July 3. The 36-year-old veteran and four-time All-Star hasn't been able to replicate his resurgent 2025 campaign, when he hit .309/.399/.560 with 32 home runs, 84 RBI, and 18 stolen bases in 140 regular-season games. Through 63 contests and 279 plate appearances in 2026, the 13-year veteran is slashing just .221/.308/.373 with a .681 OPS, eight home runs, 21 RBI, 29 runs, and six steals. Fantasy managers should not be expecting him to return to his 2025 form in the second half.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer is heading for paternity leave this weekend, multiple sources told Gregor Chisholm of The Toronto Star. Springer could be placed on the paternity list as soon as Saturday, so fantasy managers will have to adjust their lineups this weekend as the Blue Jays continue their series in Toronto against the visiting Texas Rangers. The 36-year-old veteran could miss up to three days, so he shouldn't be expected to return to the team until early next week for the series against the New York Mets. The four-time All-Star turned back the clock in 2025 in helping the Jays reach the World Series, slashing .309/.399/.560 with a .959 OPS, 32 homers, 84 RBI, 18 steals, and 106 runs scored in 140 regular-season games. Springer has been unable to tap into that form so far in 2026, hitting .216/.307/.366 with a career-low .673 OPS, eight homers, 21 RBI, 27 runs, and six steals in 60 games. He's gone 17-for-76 (.224) with three homers, three doubles, seven RBI, 11 runs, three steals, 13 walks, and 17 K's in 20 games in June. Maybe a short break for the birth of his child will get him going to close out the first half of 2026.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder/designated hitter George Springer (foot) should be good to play in Tuesday's contest against the division-rival Tampa Bay Rays, manager John Schneider told Mitch Bannon of The Athletic. Springer was hit by a pitch on his left foot on Saturday and has been held out of action for the last two games, but the Blue Jays considered using him as a pinch-hitter in Monday's series opener against the Rays. The 36-year-old veteran and four-time All-Star has already been on the injured list in 2026 with a fractured toe, so the Blue Jays are hoping he can put the injury bug behind him moving forward and get going offensively. Springer surprised nearly everyone last year by hitting .309/.399/.560 with a .956 OPS, 32 home runs, 84 RBI, 18 stolen bases, and 106 runs scored in 140 regular-season games before leading the Jays to a World Series appearance. So far this year, though, he's struggled to a .212 average (14-for-66) with two homers and seven RBI in a small sample size of just 18 games.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder/designated hitter George Springer (foot) remains out of the starting lineup for Monday's series opener against the division-rival Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field, per MLB.com. Outfielder Daulton Varsho will serve as the DH and hit sixth, while Myles Straw will get the start in center field and hit seventh versus Rays right-hander Nick Martinez. Yohendrick Pinango is starting in left field and batting leadoff. After just recently returning from a stint on the injured list due to a fractured toe, Springer fouled a ball off his left foot in Saturday's game against the Minnesota Twins. Springer didn't play in the series finale on Sunday, but the good news is that he doesn't have any new damage in his foot and is considered day-to-day. Fantasy managers will want to check back on Tuesday to see if Springer is ready to go. After a late-career resurgence for Springer in 2025, he's been injured so far in 2026 and is currently hitting just .212 (14-for-66) with two homers, seven RBI, four runs scored, and a stolen base in his 13th year in the Show.
