George Springer "Very" Capable of Playing Outfield in World Series
Toronto Blue Jays designated hitter George Springer is "very" capable of playing the outfield, if needed, in the upcoming World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers, according to manager John Schneider. The skipper prefers not to take players out of their comfort zone, but Schneider sounds confident that Springer can play the outfield, if needed. It has been a month since Springer played in the outfield, and he also suffered a knee injury in the American League Championship Series against the Seattle Mariners, but it sounds as though the Jays will consider the veteran in the outfield if shortstop Bo Bichette (knee) is put on the World Series roster but has to be limited to DH duties. Along with first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Springer has been an offensive hero for Toronto all year, hitting 32 home runs in the regular season and posting a .929 OPS with four dingers in the postseason.
