George Springer Leading Off in Return From Foot Injury
Toronto Blue Jays outfielder/designated hitter George Springer (foot) is serving as the DH and batting leadoff in his return for Tuesday's contest on the road against the division-rival Tampa Bay Rays and right-hander Drew Rasmussen, according to MLB.com. Springer is back in the team's starting nine for the first time since being hit by a pitch on his foot in Saturday's game versus the Minnesota Twins. The 36-year-old veteran has gone 4-for-12 with an RBI in four games since he returned from a stint on the 10-day injured list due to a fractured big toe, but overall in 2026, he's hitting just .212 (14-for-66) with two long balls, seven RBI, four runs scored, and a stolen base in 18 games played. Nobody should realistically be expecting Springer to repeat his impressive season from a year ago, but fantasy managers are hoping he can keep it up since returning from the IL. In 15 career at-bats against Rasmussen, he's hitting just .133 with a .716 OPS and a solo home run.
