George Springer Returning From Myriad of Injuries
Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (knee, oblique, wrist) dealt with a variety of injuries during the 2025 season, according to manager John Schneider. In addition to the previously reported knee and oblique soreness, Schneider said Tuesday that Springer also experienced right wrist discomfort as the season went along. The injuries impacted Springer's ability to throw, but he recovered well during the offseason and is not expected to face any setbacks for the 2026 regular season. Schneider specifically noted that Springer "is going to be out (in the OF) whenever we need him." That's good news for the Jays and fantasy managers after the veteran outfielder slashed .309/.399/.560 with 32 home runs and 166 wRC+ across 140 games last year. He spent most of 2025 in the designated hitter slot but could be tasked with playing more outfield innings after Anthony Santander (shoulder) was ruled out for at least five months. Springer currently ranks as the #26 outfielder in RotoBaller's latest fantasy baseball rankings for 2026.
