"Strong Possibility" That George Springer Returns in Game 6 of World Series
Toronto Blue Jays designated hitter George Springer (side) came close to starting in the Game 5 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series on Wednesday night, according to manager John Schneider. The skipper added that Springer has "checked every box physically so far." Sportsnet's Arden Zwelling writes that it "sounds like a strong possibility" that Springer returns to the lineup for Game 6 back in Toronto on Halloween night on Friday, "if he continues trending the way he has." The 36-year-old veteran injured his right side on a swing in the Game 3 loss on Monday night in L.A., causing him to miss Games 4 and 5 of the Fall Classic. If Springer returns to the lineup on Friday at the Rogers Centre, it will push infielder Bo Bichette back to the keystone. Springer has been a key offensive force for the Jays all year and has hit .246 (14-for-57) with four homers and nine RBI in 14 postseason games this year.
