Springer's Toe Injury: Quick Bounce-Back Expected

0:00On April 16th, Toronto Blue Jays Outfielder George Springer fractured his toe fouling a ball off it during a game. The 36-year-old star landed on the injured list right away, but early signs point to a quick bounce back without a long absence. Manager John Schneider shared a positive update through Hazel May this week. Springer took swings in the cage off the tee and some soft tosses both yesterday and today, moving like his usual self with no major issues. Fans, no springers, no slouch. He's got serious pop. This season's been rough so far, batting 185 over his first 14 games with just two home runs. But flipped to last year, and he slashed 309, sludged 560, smashed 32 homeers, snagged a silver slugger, and finished 7th in. American League MVP voting. No rehab stand needed. The toes just going to nag him for a couple weeks while the team monitors every step. Schneider called it annoying but manageable, keeping hopes high for his return.
