Springer Returns, Jiménez Designated; Jays Push Forward

0:00It's April 29th. This is MLB News today, powered by AI, you're around the diamond update. I'm Corey with the story. Toronto Blue Jays just brought back George Springer from the 10-day injured list after he missed 15 games with a fractured left big toe. The four-time All-Star got activated on Wednesday, but they also designated Iloy Jimenez for assignment to make room. Springer fouled the ball off his foot back on April 11th against Minnesota, finished that at bat, but sat out since. He wasn't in the starting lineup for today's series finale, versus the Boston Red Sox. This veteran's been their lead-off guy, hitting 185 with two homers in six RBI so far. Fans remember his huge role last year, batting 309 with 32 homers and 84 RBI's, plus that clutch homer in game 7 of the ALCS against Seattle. He managed to struggle in 12 games with Toronto, hitting 290 but no homers, just three RBI's on singles. He was a silver slugger with the White Sox in 2020.

1:02Springer's in the last year of his $150 million, six-year deal, and the Jays hope he sparks their lineup as they push forward this season.
